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.
Good to know. I've never tried it with a long bobbin machine and can't say I've been tempted to with so many other options. So, I will not try it at all!
