The walking foot is very useful for sewing materials such as vinyl cloth, synthetic leather, thin leather, etc. These materials are difficult to feed when sewing. The walking foot prevents these materials from crumpling, slipping or sticking to the sole of the presser foot and the material.

Note

Only use the walking foot with straight or zigzag stitches. Do not use other patterns. Reverse stitches can not be sewn with the walking foot.
