Feed dogs
 
Has anyone had a problem where their feed dogs won’t come up? There is a switch on the back of my Brother that raise or lowers the feed dogs. Mine are lowered and switch won’t make them come up. I have had a day today.

I had an issue with that. Found that if I turn the hand wheel to raise or lower the needle just a bit it would work

Yep. Usually just need to rotate the hand wheel one rotation to bring them back up.

If the feed dogs were down because you were FMQ - did you perhaps set your stitch length at 0? On my old machine if the stitch length was at 0, the feed dogs would not come up even with the switch. I had to put a stitch length in again. I didn't think it would work that way, but my old machine did.

Have you unplugged the machine and let it rest for a couple of minutes and then plugged it back in? Sometims the brain needs to be reset.

when I turn my machine on it automatically goes to straight stitch and regular length.

The feed dogs on my Husqvarna stay down until I actually start to stitch, even though I have changed the setting button. Maybe it is something easy like that?
