Feed Dogs

It was the invention of the four-stage feed that really made sewing machines practical. The feed-dog with its little teeth comes up into the feed slots from under the needle-plate at the start of the stitch; simultaneously making the foot grip the fabric to help the stitch form, and stopping the fabric from moving and thereby stressing the needle. After the loop of the stitch is formed and the needle is up again, the teeth move the fabric along, making the stitch the correct length and presenting the next place to the needle. Then the teeth disappear beneath the plate, move back to the first position, and rise again... Some early machines had a wheel with teeth, which will break the needle. The earliest machines of all mostly had the fabric moved by the operator - not conducive to an even stitch and quite tiring. These tended to have the fabric move across rather than front-to-back, too... Clever stuff!

All £3 unless otherwise indicated - with screw(s) if shown
I have added part numbers where I have them..

I have rebuilt this page so many times I despair. The little beggars breed; every time I look in the boxes there are so many more. I culled a lot of the duplicates into batches, scroll right down for the Best Bargain Batches (latest update November 2020, as if I had nothing better to do (sigh))
I'm going off feed dogs

Rebuilt with Singer at the top, then Other Makes, then Undentified Stuff, then all the weird industrials, then the Transverse shuttle ones
