I keep my 'walking foot' on my machine for 95% of everything I sew, only change to 'zipper foot' for example if I am sewing on a zipper or piping, Love my 'Walking Foot'

Thank you for this video! I knew about using a walking foot for quilting and why, but I had never thought about using it for stretch fabrics!

Nice explanation of a walking foot. I've never used one, but can see how helpful they'd be. You helped me give it some thought.

Thank you so much for this video! My machine also has a snap-on foot & I could not work out how to attach the walking foot that came with it. Your explanation & demonstration have solved that problem for me & I am so very grateful to you! Thanks again 😊

It is great for matching fabrics. Such as plaids. It is easy to get the fabric out of alignment, when you don't use a walking foot. You also don't have to pin as often.

Great tutorial. The one issue I find often is that the fabric is getting caught on the walking foot just behind the the plate and wants to bunch up unless I tug it through?

@Mellysews 2 жыл бұрын

Check your presser foot pressure, it might need to be adjusted

@niccidee782 9 ай бұрын

What is the general tension, width of stitch (say for knits) and length? And why would mine cause a skip or two in the bobbin under-stitch?

@Mellysews 9 ай бұрын

It very much depends on your machine and fabric.

@mailahidoshi2999 Жыл бұрын

Can you do zigzag with walking foot?

@Mellysews Жыл бұрын

It depends on the width of your stitch and the width of the needle hole in your specific presser foot.

It’s a very useful article.I have a question.With walking foot , they supply one another bar with (like a V shape) attached another piece. It’s one connected pcs . I don’t know where it goes. With another u tube video, I see that but nobody saws where it goes, what is the use etc, Thanks in advance

@Mellysews Жыл бұрын

I don't understand your question. I'd suggest doing a google search for your specific machine manual.

@wynnguyen1399 Жыл бұрын

@@Mellysews there is a little stick/bar thing that comes separately with the walking foot. What is it used for?

@boxgirl51 9 ай бұрын

I think you are referring to a quilting bar, to measure the distance between rows of quilting, which you can adjust. I pay attention to the bar Instead of the needle while quilting .
