Perfect timing! I have not used my walking foot yet but am about to, and was going to search the net to see if it was possible to do curved lines with a walking foot - Guess I can! Thank you for another quick and useful lesson!
Absolutely! Just keep the curves gentle at first until you get the feel for stopping and rotating for deeper curves. It's easy, but does take a bit more time than free motion quilting.
I never tried the walking foot, but, I look into your videos and practice on my machine. Thank you for your detail information and videos. Looking forward to learning more from your lessons.
Hmm... You might not have your foot in the down position. Big loops with walking foot quilting is rare and probably just an issue of needing to drop the foot.
I typically set my machine to 1.5 mm for walking foot quilting, BUT this quilt block had minky on the back which means I increase the length to 2.5 mm because the minky is so grippy on the machine bed.
Love this gal and how she teaches
Thank you for the video
I have only sewn garments, and heirloom with my 1230. I’ll look into piecing and quilting now!
Awesome! Great tip for using the edge of the foot as spacing, I’m going to use this technique on a pillow top. Thanks!
You are so welcome!

Total appreciation for your kind of excellent teaching.
That's great Rosa! I'm so glad to hear it!
Thanks Leah! Good information. I have been practicing with my walking foot on my old BERNINA and this helps a lot!
I'm so glad to hear that. Older Bernina machines are awesome!
These videos are great. Your fabric is so smooth.
Thank you Debbie! The power of starch at work! LOL!
Great Video! Thank you. Going to practice.
Great! Have fun!
Great video! Thanks Leah
Thank you for watching Marcia!
Thanks for your help My machine was stitching fine until I put my Walking foot on Now it creating big loops underneath. Any suggestions.

Those gloves look like a great idea. Are they designed for quilting for finger safety and gripping. If so I'll search for some.
These aren't designed for safety so much as gripping the quilt. You can find them here: leahday.com/products/machingers-quilting-gloves
What stitch length are you using? Love your videos so easy to understand

When you bury your threads what quick threading needle do you use?
I really like Clover cheater needles. You can find them here: leahday.com/products/cheater-needles
Thanx. Those are the ones that I have. They break my threads but I will try your technique for using them and have another go at them
This is awesome! Thank you so much. What are those little foam things on the end of your pins called?
Pin moors
Leslie has it right! Those are Pinmoors and you can find them here: leahday.com/products/baste-your-quilt-kit
Your voice is so soothing! I really enjoy your videos. Very informative, but your voice makes me want to actually listen and not tune out!
Thank you for the video
