Singer Futura II, Now I Understand
I responded to a 2Good2Toss posting for a free sewing machine. Now I am wiser. These are the rubber coated feed dogs folks were talking about! When I went to clean out the lint, some of it came off with the solidified fluff.
Has anyone tried Plasticoat-Dip on these feed-dogs? It goes on thick, but it could be pared down to size or thinned before application.

I love how the rubber-coated feet handle chiffon and satin and other slippery fabric. Replacing them is $20 a pop, but you don't have to do that very often.
Terry at TnT knows all the vintage Singer slants better than anyone I can think of - if you need anything for your 400, 500, 600, 700 series or later machines, he's probably got it and he's fast and easy to deal with, too. He's written his own repair manuals that are absolutely incredible. Here's his Futura page: http://tandtrepair.com/Futura.html
