Feed dogs are the critical component of a drop feed sewing machine. A set of feed dogs typically resembles two or three short thin metal bars crosscut with diagonal teeth which move back and forth in slots in a sewing machine’s needle plate. Their purpose is to pull (feed) the fabric through the machine in discrete steps in-between stitches.This arrangement is called drop feed in reference to the way the dogs drop below the needle plate when returning for the next stroke.
