YOu can adjust the feed dogs on most of the singers and you can possibly drop them low enough for FMQ but I wouldn't recommend it. It is not the most fun thing to do adjusting the feed dogs!

Ok Billy and Beth, I do want to FMQ on one of my treadles. I think that would be so cool too Beth! But, now I am afraid to try dropping those feed dogs.
Billy, is there a vintage treadle that you know of, maybe the 201, that actually had an easy way to lower the feed dogs? I want to do a Halloween 'cheater' panel quilt just to practice FMQing with one of my treadles.
I have the Singer 9W, a 127, Model 15, 27, 28, and a 66. Which one of those would you attempt to FMQ with?
I have heard of people taping a credit card over the feed dogs. What would that do to the feed dogs?
