Lesson 18 : Feed Mechanism

Drop Feed

The most common feed system is the ordinary drop feed mechanism. The feed dog moves in an ellipse, rising above the needle plate to transport the material forward by one stitch length. During the feeding the needle is above the needle plate and therefore out of the material while the fabric moves forward.

Feed dog drops below the needle plate after feeding the material forward in order to return to the start position to restart the cycle. In the next step the feed dog is below the needle plate and the materials are stationary and the stitch is formed.
