Attaching the Walking Foot

CHANGING THE PRESSER FOOT

The walking foot holds the fabric between the presser foot and the feed dogs to feed the fabric. This enables you to have better fabric control when sewing difficult fabrics (such as quilting or velvet) or fabrics that slip easily (such as vinyl cloth, leather, or synthetic leather).

Note

•When sewing with the walking foot, sew at medium to low speeds.

Memo

•The walking foot can only be used with straight or zigzag stitch patterns. Reverse stitches cannot be sewn with the walking foot. Only select straight or zigzag stitch pat- terns with reinforcement stitches.

CAUTION

•Use the screwdriver to tighten the screw securely. If the screw is loose, the needle may strike the presser foot and cause injury.

•Be sure to turn the handwheel toward the front of the machine to check that the needle does not strike the presser foot. If the needle strikes the presser foot, injury may result.
