Installation of walking foot

This foot is very useful for sewing materials such as vinyl cloth, synthetic leather, thin leather, etc. These materials are difficult to be fed when sewing but this foot can prevent such materials from crumpling, slipping or sticking between presser foot and materials thanks to even feeding upper and lower materials.

You can use walking foot only for sewing STRAIGHT STITCH ( · ) and ZIGZAG STITCH ( ).

You can not use this foot for sewing other patterns including horizontal feed (STRAIGHT & ZIGZAG STITCH).
