feed dogs for Touch and Sew 728
I posted somewhere on the forum, but dog if I know where.
I have a Touch and Sew 728 I purchased as is and it needs the plastic (yuck on that word) dogs and a presser foot for stariaght and zigzag. My mother in law had one and I cried the day she traded it for a ForuTuna? or what that piece of junk was. I had always wanted one and cculd not afford to buy until I say this ugly baby at a flea market. My eyes saw stars launching around the machine, and the heavenly choir singing. I would love to clean this up, find a manual, and replace the feed dogs. Can you send me to the correct place to purchase?

I initially thought your title was a typo as I couldn't find a manual at https://www.singer.com/manuals I know some have used tandtrepair for slant needle machine parts and books and found him to be helpful. I think you are referring to the rubber feed dogs as seen at http://site.tandtrepair.com/SingerFeedDogs.html I couldn't find a manual or other info for a 728 on that site. I did find a manual for a 708/728 at http://www.sewingmachinemanual.net/S...ion_Manual.htm and https://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machin...ng_Machine.htm and https://manualsoncd.com/product/sing...uction-manual/

On a different Singer where the feed dogs seemed to be sluggish, I make a little card stock gasket to go under the feed dogs. It was just enough to raise the feed dogs so they grabbed the fabric better until my replacement parts came in.
