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 between 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.

CAUTION

Use the oval screwdriver to tighten the screw securely. If the screw is loose, the needle may hit the presser foot and you may be injured.

Turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that the

needle does not touch the presser foot. If the needle hits the presser foot, the needle may bend or break.

Note

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