Help!! feed dogs just stopped working - any ideas?

The walking foot only works in a forward motion...maybe reverse on some machines...(some have said it ruined theirs)
So I don't think it would work for stippling, you need to be able to move the fabric around and the walking foot helps to hold it in place ;)

You can quilt using a walking foot, but only straight lines or large curving lines. For this type of quilting, you start at one end of the quilt and end at the other side.

I have a "thing" that you place over the feed dogs... so I put on a darning foot and hope for the best !!!!!!!!! I believe you go slowly with your foot and guide the material around with your hands... also put the stitch length on wider... so that should do it hopefully... will let you know how I get on next week... I have a sewing table in one of the bedrooms, but have also bought one that folds and also holds the machine down lower... have been sewing on the table in the dining room and getting a sore back and shoulders... enough to put you off sewing forever actually... so next week it will be all go !!!
