I found replacement rubber ones here:
http://tandtrepair.com/SingerFeedDogs.html so I can fix it but what I would really like are the metal ones. Does anyone know if the metal ones shown will work (or can be easily modified to fit) on this machine?

I just bought the rubber ones for my machines. I've read that they work better when creating the fancy stitches, such as the dog and flower.
As for the metal ones in that link, it says they "Will be modified for proper fit before shipping".
