Drop feed mechanism – The drop feed mechanism is commonly found in domestic sewing machines and a majority of industrial sewing machines. Also known as regular feed mechanism, the drop feed mechanism involves the movement of serrated metal strips known as feed dogs, which are found in slots in a sewing machine’s
needle plate. As the needle is retracted from the fabric, the feed dogs underneath drag the fabric or material horizontally in order to move the workpiece.
