I'm not sure if the feed dogs were plastic or a rubber compound. He showed me the ziploc bag with the old ones in it and thought he put them in my sewing machine bag, but when I got home, they weren't there. My machine doesn't get oiled (by me) anywhere as it is a self lubricating machine, so I know I didn't get any oil anywhere. I figured that the side to side motion embroidery is the main cause of them wearing out, but frustrating anyway.
