Not all sewing machines can drop the dog feed. I have a Brother and it has a switch in the back that slides over. I also have an older Singer 125 (made in 1953) and there's a large screw of sorts under the machine that I can turn to lower or raise the feed dogs. You can buy a plate to cover the dog feed for some machines. You ought to google your machines and see what it says about them.

Can anyone help me with the feeddogs?
