Quilting with Walking Foot

S

The walking foot is effective in preventing the fabric (light materials, knits, real and imitation leather etc.) from slipping or puckering, because it sandwiches the material between the upper and the lower feed dog on the machine.

The quilting bar can also be attached on the walking foot to make it easier to sew evenly spaced parallel rows of stitches.

•To attach the walking foot Walking foot
