Guides that go with Walking Feet
Frequently asked
- What does a walking foot do?
- It has its own feed teeth that move the top layer of fabric in step with the machine's feed dogs moving the bottom layer, so thick or slippery layers go under the needle together. That is what stops quilt layers pleating, stripes drifting out of line and knits stretching into a wave.
- When should you not use a walking foot?
- For free-motion quilting, which needs the feed dogs lowered and a darning or free-motion foot instead, and for curves too tight for the wide foot to turn. On ordinary cotton seams it works, but you do not need it.
- Does a walking foot fit any sewing machine?
- No. A walking foot is made for a particular shank, and many are sold for a named brand. Check your manual for the shank type and read which machines the listing says it fits. If your machine has built-in dual or even feed, you may not need one at all.
- What can I use instead of a walking foot?
- Built-in dual or even feed does the same job if your machine has it. Otherwise, pin or baste more closely, lengthen the stitch slightly, and lower the presser-foot pressure if your machine lets you adjust it. That helps, but none of it matches a walking foot on a whole quilt.
