And keep in mind also, that there was no foot on the presser bar when darning on most old machines. The fabric being darned was clamped into a hoop to hold the fabric taut without the need for a foot to hold the fabric down when the needle was ascending. Therefore, the additional height of the feed dog cover had no effect what so ever (no foot to be interfered with). The feed dog cover plates weren’t designed for hopping feet.
