Walking Foot

It feeds both the top and bottom fabrics through the presser foot area evenly.
This really helps when you are quilting your quilt.
You will find no puckers if you baste your quilt well. :D:D:D

My machine has a built in "walking foot" and I use it for everything. It is great for piecing, sewing specialty fabrics, anything that has any kind of possible slippage or stretch. I think it is a must have like the differential feed on my serger.

The walking foot feeds the top layer of fabric and at the same time your feed dogs feed the bottom layer. That way you don't get puckers. It's a wonderful help when you're piecing. Have you noticed that sometimes the top fabric ends up longer than the bottom fabric if you don't pin well? Also great for stitching in the ditch and attaching binding !

ok sounds like it is worth changing the foot when sewing the batting...another question. Can you I sew pieces together with the foot so that I do not have to keep changing the foot?
