The only reason I would want to bypass the feed dogs on a long bobbin machine would be to use a buttonholer. Because they don't drop you can get the screw driver out and remove them completely.
Yikes!! Glad I asked & took advantage of all of your wisdom & knowledge, because otherwise I sure would've tried FMQ on it! Thanks, guys!!
I have found quite a few videos online, mostly on YouTube, that show how to thread the machine, how to test & adjust the tension if needed, and even one on some of the attachments. Mine has quite a few of the attachments, but not all I saw online. Wish it had the attachment to keep the seams even - have to go back & look to make sure it wasn't there.
Also need to practice treadling - probably been 50 years since I tried that, LOL!
