Oh, well. I hope you get the point!
|
i took a class and we were told to leave ours up. did and it worked. i usually put mine down but not always. just depends on how things are working.
|
Leah Day's website is great and it works with feed dogs up.
|
Since watching a Lea Day tute, I keep my feed dogs up and put my stitch length at 0--it works great. I prefer this to dropping the feed dogs.
|
thanks, I checked out Leah Day's site and read her note on feed dogs, it was interesting.
|
As long as you dial your stitch length to 0 so they aren't moving...why not?
|
I'm no expert, but have had good results with slow motion free motion / feed dogs up / walking foot on. I have no idea if this is a no-no, but my sample turned out nice.
Sunnye: is this the link you were going for? Because yup, if you check out Leah's Free Motion Quilting Project, she addresses the issue: http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.c...-question.html Plus you'll get mega inspiration from all her fabulous work! |
Yes, on most machines you can leave the feed dogs up...I usually drop them when I am doing stippling, meandering but when doing designs, I will leave the feed dogs up as I feel I have more control.

I generally find the tension is better when doing FMQ on my Janome if I leave the feed dogs up. Still experimenting with my new 201, not so sure it helps on that one.

I'm pretty sure I'd be equally as bad up or down.
