I have a question about FMQ. I am new to quilting as you will be able to tell by my question. My feed dogs don't drop down. Is there a way to cover them to FMQ? I really love my machine so don't want to buy a new one.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I use an older machine that doesn't let me put the feed dogs down too, and I cut a piece of template plastic and taped it over the feed dogs and went to work (it worked great)! You can also use a business card with a smooth face (some have a rougher texture that catches at the fabric and makes it difficult to FMQ. Hope this helps.
