I have a babylock espire and after lowering the feed dogs for a project, they won't raise up again. I took the face plate off and cleaned the lint but it is not responding to the re-set of the feed dogs. Any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to the board :D:D:D
Try turning the machine off, let set for a few minutes and then turn it back on.

Sorry I can't help you with the feed dogs.....I'm not familiar with the Babylock.

Hello and welcome from another Joyce in SW FL. Can't help you with your problem though. Enjoy the forum.

Is there a feed dog epidemic??????? I just took my singer confidence quilter to the shop because i tried everything i could and what the customer service rep told me to do and my feed dogs would not come up.......very frustrating to say the least, now i will be without my machine for about a week had to drive over 1 hr to go to a service center...

I have no idea (I am mechanically cursed), but welcome from Maryland!

Thanks for the tip. I will also try to reset all the settings and start over.

Hi Joyce and welcome to the board I'm Pam from Arkansas. I have a Janome sewing machine and this happened once to me. I had to start sewing a little to get it to come back up. I decided I would never lower mine again. Since I have been on the lookout for a good cheap machine to do my free motion with.

Hi and welcome to the board. This is what I was going to suggest also. On my Kenmore, the feed dogs don't pop up until I start to sew or at least press the pedal as if to sew.

Have you tried turning the handwheel to engage the feed dogs?
