Jumping quilting Foot
#1
I have a new Brothers Sewing and Quilting machine and the Walking Foot used for Quilting has a bad habit of jumping while I am trying to quilt. The foot seems to get caught or something and it will jump. I have sent this question to Brother also but they have not answered. I bet quilters will know the answer.

I'm still trying to figure out if you put the presser foot down after you put the feed dogs down. I know you can use a darning foot or at least I think that's the one you use. I want to fmq but there's so many questions in my head! :( I hope you get your answer!

Hummm... I have a brother innov-is 450q and the walking foot does the same thing. I changed it out with my singer walking foot and everything worked fine. I think its a defect. Taking my foot back next week I just purchased this back in april, still under warranty.

Are you just doing straight quilting or are you trying to FMQ with the walking foot? I din't have any trouble with my walking foot on my Brother. It was a bit noisy and clunky but it didn't jump. Maybe take it back to the dealer and show them what it is doing.
