This 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 between the presser foot and the material.

Este pie resulta muy útil para coser materiales como la tela de vinilo, el cuero sintético, el cuero fino, etc. Estos materiales son difíciles de mover durante la costura. El pie móvil impide que estos materiales se arruguen, deslicen o queden pegados entre el pie prensatela y el material.

Note/Nota

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.

Utilice el pie móvil únicamente con puntadas rectas o de zig-zag. No utilice otros dibujos. No es posible coser puntas en reversa con el pie móvil.
