How to Use a Walking Foot Attachment | Sewing Machine

Thank you my long-standing doubt is cleared

Can I use any stich with this foot?

I don't understand! My needle is too thick to fit through the little line on the walking foot, and it's too far to the left to go through the hole. It keeps hitting the top. How do I make it work? Do I need a thinner needle? Is it possible to move my needle?

Brilliant thank you for sharing.

Can you use a vintage walking foot on a modern machine? Like the Singer smooth & even C-470 on a Brother SQ9185

How do you change the feet on this type of sewing machine?

I am a sewer, that new sewing machine

Just to clarify the walking foot doesn't pull the fabric with its feed dogs. It pushes down and allows the dogs to easily slide with no drag. This explains how it can handle differing stitch lengths. If the feed dogs were pulling the fabric you would need to match the movement of the feed dogs in the machine with those of the walking foot. The lever simply lifts the foot st the appropriate time. Still works well though.

Hello, I hope you still get notifications. I recently bought the walking foot after being frustrated in my swimwear project. You helped me install the walking foot.

Useful video


Thank you

So dearly, much

Thank you for an excellent tutorial. Is it possible to use a twin needle along with this walking foot? It might be very useful for shortening trousers made of very elastic fabric, for example. Thank you.

Nice Tutorial - Thanks :-)

How do you attach the guide the walking foot?

having trouble sewing through thick layers of fabric this this foot.

Would you recommend to use the walking foot when using knits? Specifically knits used for swimwear?

Thanks and Happy New Year !

You're beautiful. Thanks.

Absolutely the best tutorial I've seen on the 'walking foot', she explains in simple terms while getting the advice across to the viewer, it's exactly how I want a tutorial to be, it's not convoluted in any way 👍👌

Thank you, much more helpful than the instructions that came with it. Lowering the needle does make it easier.

Great video! Clear audio and visuals, clear demo, concise, nice voice, and showed exactly how to mount and use and how it works. Now I totally get it.
If you use a regular presser foot, the top and bottom sides of fabric/ vinyl/ satin/ leather or other slippery fabric may not work in harmony moving parallel to each other. The top may slide forward and the bottom lag behind, or vice versa. With this attachment, the material is secured both top and bottom and forced to move as one, making the stitching even and with no extra tension on fabric.

One thing to note: There is no reverse stitch on the walking foot. It moves forward only. To secure the ends of the stitch, turn fabric around instead.

Thank you sm... had to watch some crappy videos till I found your helpfull one!

Thx. You assisted with using my new walking foot.

Can’t see well because a wide angle lense was used. I can’t hear much because of the music-noise.

Couldn't see. Words were in the way

Thank you.

FYI ,DYI,s this Singer's walking foot also fits new Brother machines as well as Kenmore. The singer has metal where the foot is attached to the machine. Brother has a plastic attach peice I've noticed on its walking foot. Joann didn't have a Brother walking foot at my small coastal town location and I have my sewing project cut hemed with batting ready to sew today! I gambled at Joann fabric store and bought the singer in hope it would fit!Thank you, Singer! Thanks for this video. God Bless!

Thank you - I was given a walking foot but had no instructions, so it sat in my sewing box for a couple of years - I now know how to install it.
