    Hi, I have and use my Husqvarna Designer 1 and the feed dogs do drop. I have to congratulate you on your article in the Quilting magazine. You are so smart, I cannot wait to see your posts as there is always something great to try and learn. You make it look so easy, Thanks.

    I use my Viking Sapphire 960Q and the feed dogs drop automatically!

    I have a Babylock Esante and I love it for free-motion quilting. The stitches are even and tidy. It does have the ability to drop the feed dogs, which I do. Before the Esante I was using a Kenmore 19001 and my work didn’t look as neat as I wanted it to.

    I sew with a Bernina 830 and the feed dogs automatically drop. I Love It!

    I use two machines, my husbands old White sewing machine, with feed dogs that don’t drop, but I can quilt larger quilts on it. The other machine I sew on is a Brother Innovis Quilt Club machine. The feed dogs drop, but the throat space isn’t huge, and I’ve only had it a bit and have only quilted a small tablerunner on it. cdahlgren at live dot com

    I use my Husquavarna 2000, circa mid-1960’s. (I am circa mid-1970’s for the record). I can drop the dogs but don’t. The biggest quilt I’ve quilted on it was a 98″x98″ quilt made with 2.5″ squares and I did a non-denominational rainbow pattern (baptist fan). Thanks!

    When I free motion quilt, I use my 1970s Kenmore, with the dogs down. Does a good job of quilting, but it is the only machine I have ever used as an adult.

    I use my HQ Avante and also my Janome 15000 to quilt.

    I have the Bernina Anniversary Edition which is somewhere between the 435 and 450 because they included the 9mm stitch width and a few other popular features for this special offering. Yes, the feed dogs can be lowered.

  10. Diane McLauchlan says:

    My go to machine for everything is my Janome 6600. Yes the feed dogs drop.

    I use my Bernina 1630 home sewing machine, which has feed dogs that can be dropped. As much as I love “Bernie” I am shopping for a new machine with a larger throat. I’m tending toward a Bernina because my last 3 machines have been that brand, but don’t know if I should get a 700 series or 800 series model. Also, I’m trying to decide on a machine with embroidery model or without, because my Bernina 180E is going on 14 years old (and she’s my youngest machine!).
    Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of a great magazine!

    I have a Bernina 880 and a 430. I have a BSR foot for both machines and both machine have feed dogs that drop. I use both machines to free motion quilt, sometimes I use the BSR foot and sometimes I don’t.

    I use a Janome 6600 for my free motion quilting most of the time which does allow the feed dogs to be dropped. I also have a used Handiquilter 16 which I’m trying to learn how to use. I ‘m still trying to learn to use it for detail micro quilting.

    I sew on a Babylock Ellisimo and a Babylock symphony . Both machines drop the feed dogs easily.
    Thanks for a great blog !

    I normally use a Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 830 but it’s on the fritz…so I’ve been fmq’ing with my trusting little 20 year old Bernina 1080 special….the feed dogs drop on both of them.

    I do my FMQ (and all my sewing currently) on a Singer Featherweight 221. It doesn’t drop the feed dogs.

    My machine is a Janome 9000. I can drop my feed dogs. I am only just beginning to experiment with it in free motion. I can’t wait until I’m half as good as you.

    Hi! I use an older Handiquilter 16 (mid arm) and the feed dogs do not drop. I haven’t had much luck FMQ on my Bernina 8 series machine.

    I do all my quilting on my Janome 6600 which allows me to drop my feed dogs. I really appreciate your tutorials that can be done on a home machine!

    I have Bernina 630 and just upgraded to the 880e. Feed dogs drop on both and I have BSR to aid in my free motion. Love your blog! I tell free mention enthusiast about it all the time. Thanks for this blog.

    Hi, I use my Janome Horizon ? Craft 15,000 (that 1 word I just can’t recall-it’s their embroidery machine) & I can drop feed dogs. I’m longtime reader of all things quilting but need to translate interest to more ‘doing’- I really love the quilting examples I’ve seen on your site & want MORE! Thanks!
