Thank you very much. I did not realize all the uses of this foot. I am a novice at sewing but am starting to do some quilting. My sister use to do it and when she passed I decided that her grandchildren that came after her passing also needed their own baby quilts. This foot is actually a big help. Thank you again for the video.
Hi! To lock in the stitches, bring your stitch length down to 0.0 and sew a few stitches. Basically, you are sewing a knot. Then, bring your stitch length back up and sew like normal. Pretty nifty!
I have watched a lot of vids on installing the walking foot. This one is the very best! She shows you the fabrics that work, including quilting, HOW the Walking foot works and even mentions the tension adjustment, which I would have REALLY goofed up if I didn't know that! TY SO MUCH!
What a help. My walking foot hasn't been on my machine yet, and now I know how to install it. I've made several quilted items without one, and now, how I wish I'd realized the walking foots' ability to align my work. Amazing, and thanks agains!
Just getting back into sewing after many years away. Wanting to learn to machine quilt. Have just purchased a walking foot and have had a little difficulty installing it. Your video was VERY helpful to see how to do it and also to watch the different applications! Thanks for your tutorial! I will watch for more of your videos!
Omg, your videos are a god sent, i ordered a brother sewing machine with 294 stitches, it came loaded with stuff. Your videos are so helpful i had no idea what any of this stuff was. Now i can play with my walking foot and others to create some beautiful things. Thank you so much
Thank you. I have only been sewing for almost three months. First masks by hand. Now, by machine or hand...according to how I feel at the moment. I am learning so much!! I ordered a walking foot; it was delivered today. Tried it out and am amazed at the smoothness and difference in the way the material feeds through. I am so grateful for the (extensive variety) of tutorials I have found on TH-cam.
Thank you for this information. I now know how to lock in my stitch without reversing. Didn't know you couldn't really go in reverse with the walking foot.
I can't sew a straight line. I loved your tutorial. It was very helpful! I'm new at sewing so I'm glad I found out about the walking foot in the beginning of my sewing project.
Thanks for this video, just ordered a walking foot after having loads of problems with puckering while quilting using a 1/4 inch foot, so hopefully this foot resolves them!
I am so thrilled to have discovered your channel! I've been seeing since 14, but never paid much attention to the other sewing feet. I just got a Brother PC-420PRW and it came with a walking foot. So happy I watched your demo! This foot will bring designs I never thought possible into being! Thanks!
Wow, I just nabbed a walking foot at an estate sale, for practically nothing. I wasn't even sure it would work on my machine. Your video showed so many options. I'm anxious to be using it.
Thank you sew much for this video! I was having a very hard time needling my way through a blanket project I wanted to create. After this video I have the confidence of a tailor! Great installation directions as well.
Thank you for such a great instructional~ I've had a walking foot for 4 years and never felt I knew what to do with it~ NOW I do and will start to use it finally~ Thanks again~
Hi Buthy! I'm not 100% sure if there are any with a 1/4 inch mark. However, let me check with out inventory team and see if they have come across any. I should know by tomorrow. Thank you!
excellent demo. I loved you showing how it works with several kinds of fabrics. I needed this video and didn't know how much I didn't know until after I watched it. Thanks. Arlene in southern California
Thank you for such a clear, comprehensive demonstration. I've just ordered one and the instructions were very brief, but your video has clarified it all for me. Many thanks.
Thanks for the video! I too have had a walking foot for quite a while. It didn't even come with instructions so I've been waiting to use it! Just made my first minky blanket and it looks great!
Thank's for the video on the walking foot. I have been sewing for awhile and always wondered if I could use that walking foot for other thing's .I am going to use this zig zag for stich in the ditch and see how this come's out.Thank's for the video's very helpful.
Oh my gosh. I just realized this video is 11 years old but it's brand-new to me I totally appreciate he's showing me how to use this new foot that I just got and this is 2023 hahaha I'm behind the times
Great video! I have a Singer regular sewer & a Brother Serger...I'm so switching to Brother as soon as I find right deal! Watching your machine made me want it even more ;-)
So glad I watched this video, my morning project is to add binding to a fleese lined vinyl project and wasn't sure what foot I needed, good to know that my walking foot is the answer, also didn't know you could zig zag with it...... tks
We don't have a foot with a specific 'mark' , but most of them are designed so that if you put the needle to the far right position (still within the opening) and guide the fabric along the outside edge, it equals 1/4 inch. I just tested it with my walking foot and a ruler - a perfect 1/4inch! What machine make and model do you have?
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’ve never used a walking foot, and I’m looking to start a project that calls for it and knowing that I can’t backstitch to lock the stitch in - I couldn’t find the info anywhere to what I would do as an alternative! Your instructions are very clear!
I have made a fleece baby blanket as a special gift for my new granddaughter (am a beginner sewer, teaching self by TH-cam) and want to edge it with a satin blanket binding to make it pop. As the blanket has come up perfectly, should I get a walking foot to sew on the satin binding? Your video tutorial was great. Thank you 😊
Thanks for the video. Am making a quilt for an eagle scout with my 22 yo Viking 1100. Had a dual feed foot; but forgot all about it and what to do with it. Now, will be finishing the quilt with it. Only wish I had known all of this when I was doing the piecing.
Hello from the Philippines! Your tutorials are amazing! Very clear and direct to the point. I always watch your videos and they make my projects easier to do! More videos please! hehe :-)
You videos are amazing! So clear and concise...I love them. Quick question...I recently purchased a walking foot but my needle keeps hitting it as I sew...I've tried to adjust the position but I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I wish this video showed the installation from the front of the machine...
Hi Sarah I really enjoy your videos. I have learned so much and you are a great teacher. I have a Necchi 3610 and it is hard to find compatible parts. I am interested in a walking foot, automatic threader and rolled hem feet in various sizes.
thank you so much for sharing how to use this walking foot, I have a brother machine, I don't know much of how to use it, so I had some one came in to show me, she says theachine is skipping stitches and the material is bulging, I have a walking foot but didn't know what it was until now that am looking at your video. thank you very much
I bought a walking foot and attached it to my 30 year old all metal Kenmore. But the fit is such that when it is attached the foot is pressed against the machine throat plate and no fabric can fit between, never ind my four layer quilt. Do you think this means my machine can't use a quilting foot?
Great video. This is definitely helpful especially as a beginner. Just a quick question. What stitch length are you using to have your stitches so straight. Mine are a bit zig zaged. I have a brother CS-6000i. Thanks!
It is a high shank machine? Low Shank? It doesn't appear to be a used in the united states, but many presser feet are generic and can be used with other brand machines. If you can tell me the shank type, I can tell the perfect walking foot for it.
your videos are fantastic! I just bought a singer fashionista S800 from HSN & it came with 21 feet. you are such a tremendous help to me showing all of these tuts. I just want to thank you for being so explicit in your directions, it really helps a beginner like me. btw what is a minky blanket?
Thank you so much for watching our videos! I'm so glad they have been a help! Minky is super soft fabric. It's very popular when making baby blankets, because the fabric is rich and warm. I can't really describe it, other than saying it's awesome. If you get a chance, the next time you go to the fabric store, wander around the baby fabric section. One of the employees will show you were the minky is. Warning: you may fall in love.
good evening ...I΄am a beginner well when I use the walking foot on my sewing machine can I keep it parmanetly ...it might be helpfull for every project ?thank you very much!
Hi Sara, this is a terrific video, thank you very much. I need to buy a walking foot for my machine, Brother Dream Creator VQ2400 and I checked the brother site to get the part number of the foot. There are two that work on my machine, a regular walking foot and an open toe. I make layered fleece blankets, two layers of fleece with layers of polyfill in between, just straight sewing, not quilting. Not sure which foot to get. Your description of the difference between these two feet was really good, I'm asking because the regular foot is $24 more ($97.99 vs. $73.99) than the open toe. If you were me, which would you get? Thanks very much for your advice.
Thank you Sara always nice videos.. I have a question.. how to find 1/4 of inch in while using walking foot? is there a walking foot that has a quarter of inch mark on it? Thank you
It would be good if you could show or update a segment using the walking foot with velvet. I'm sewing curtain ties with loops for my friends and they chose velvet ( I think they just wanted me lose it ) and it has or still is a frustrating journey. I tried the walking foot for the velvet, but i might of rushed a bit, because the seam stitch just ended up being half an inch uneven at the end. I'll give it a go but if it doesn't work out I'll let you know and hopefully you or someone else could tell me where I'm going wrong
The video was very informative. We are in the leather products manufacturing. Is it possible to use the Walking Foot for stitching multiple layers of leathers ?
Hi again! If you go to our site and enter #214874013 in the search box, it will bring you to the walking foot for your machine. Please let me know if there is anything else at all I can help with. Happy sewing!
Thanks for the lovely vids!My walking foot came with instructions that said it's not meant to sew backwards or sideways.I understand the 'backwards' part but not the 'sideways' part. I thought it meant zig zags but I see you use zig zag stitches...?
Wondering if this is the right foot to use for sewing embroidered badges (crests) onto a fleece blanket? normal foot worked fine for squares, I ran into difficulty when I came to my first circular badge? Any tips?
Very helpful and straight to the point. No unnecessary talking. Thank you.
Thank you very much. I did not realize all the uses of this foot. I am a novice at sewing but am starting to do some quilting.

You explained the installation very well. My first time ever using a walking foot. Thank you very much!
My pleasure!
Thank you for clearing up the mystery that was the walking foot, I have just succesfully made my first quilt
It's such a life saver! It's my first alternative if I ever have trouble sewing a type of fabric.
Thank you. I attached my foot after watching your video. My quilting looks great!
I purchased a walking foot on Amazon and I love it! The backstitching worked just fine on my machine. I have a Singer 7258.
Luv your videos. You take out the "fear" of using some very useful tools. You are a very good instructor - thx so much!
Thanks for the video. I have a walking foot for my Bernina but have never used it. Now I will!

Wow! You just helped me be less nervous about making a minky quilt!
Wow, I just nabbed a walking foot at an estate sale, for practically nothing. I wasn't even sure it would work on my machine. Your video showed so many options. I'm anxious to be using it.
This has given me a reason to fall in love with my sewing machines once again. Thank you so much.
WOW!! Nice. I bought my walking foot for my ancient Singer 404 and I will be doing light leader and satin!
Thanx for the great inspiration!!!
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!

Victoria Pero Thank you so much for sharing us with your class! What an honor!

I have been sewing for tooooo long without this information!! Thank you!

Thanks very much - great video. I bought a walking foot attachment for my singer merritt so I can sew sails and canvas.

Excellent video and I love the examples you've provided us! Thanks!
I really like your videos Sarah. it's precise yet so informative and so helpful... 😊
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching!
Thank you! Good close up of installation n sewing with the foot. Great Idea comparing with and without!!!!
Great demo, nice and clear, really made me see how I need to "think walking foot". Subscribed. Thanks!
"Thank You" for the walking foot tutorial...helped me so much!
Thank you for this instruction. Great for a new beginner like me.
Thank you so much for this video....going this weekend to get me a walking foot.

Very useful information in this tutorial. Easy-to-follow, too. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much for posting this! I couldn't figure it out. You are very informative!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Sarah!
To move the needle position, simply adjust the stitch width. It will move your needle from side to side.
Thank you for these tutorials. Very helpful.
Thank you so much!! You're explanation was very clear and helpful.
You videos are amazing! So clear and concise...I love them.
Quick question...I recently purchased a walking foot but my needle keeps hitting it as I sew...I've tried to adjust the position but I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I wish this video showed the installation from the front of the machine...

I think I'm just using a 2.5 mm length. If the actual stitches look a little zigzag, or might be time to change the needle
Hi thank you I just got one & you totally helped me...I love your videos

Awesome Demo Thx❤️
Thank you very much for the great video! I learned a lot.

Nice presentation.
Thanks for the lovely vids!My walking foot came with instructions that said it's not meant to sew backwards or sideways.I understand the 'backwards' part but not the 'sideways' part. I thought it meant zig zags but I see you use zig zag stitches...?
I think by sideways it means you can't do free motion, which lets you go in all directions. Zig zags are definitely allowed!
So helpful! Thank you.
I have one of these have never used it. Now I can't wait to break it out
Thanks for the video. I have a question: since the walking foot does such a great job, why not use it for all sewing?
Excellent video. Thanks so much.
I wish i had known about this few days ago. i have to get one now.
so a walking feet can be used in normal sewing machines? or just in electric ones? do the feet has to be the same brand is my sewing machine?
Wondering if this is the right foot to use for sewing embroidered badges (crests) onto a fleece blanket? normal foot worked fine for squares, I ran into difficulty when I came to my first circular badge? Any tips?
