Has anyone tried Plasticoat-Dip on these feed-dogs? It goes on thick, but it could be pared down to size or thinned before application.
I have one of these machines and had to replace the coated feed dogs a few times. I was getting frustrated with finding the black plasticy-rubber in my seams! Went to the local Singer store and they now have another all metal feed dog that fits! They were under $50 and sure were worth every penny! I, too, am getting rid of my Futura, but the new owner won't have to worry about that frustration! LOL
