New to me
There is a lady in our quilting group who knows everything about quilting (eye roll). another gal was sewing on binding using her walking foot & serpintine stitch. This lady told her she would ruin her walking foot as they were designed for only straight stitching. Who knew.

I've heard that too. maybe it depends on the machine.
|
If they were only designed for straight stitch, they wouldn't have a wide enough needle area to accommodate other stitches.

It may depend on the walking foot. The walking foot on my July HZL-DX7 has a wide enough needle area to accommodate decorative stitches. The first time I used it for that purpose, I did manually lower the needle just to make sure it wouldn't hit the foot.

It depends on the machine. Viking has a walking foot that works with the decorative stitches, which go forward, back, etc.
|
It depends on the machine. I know I can use some stitches on my machine but
not all. The ones that I am not supposed to use are greyed out on the chart. She should check in her manual or with the dealer. |
Gee, maybe she doesn't know "everything"?

Normally I just avoid her. LOL. This time I did ask and she said your walking is not designed for such side to side movement ( insert her tone of don't question me, I know best).

Interesting. I would have asked her to explain how it would ruin her walking foot. My walking foot is wide enough to accommodate every stitch my machine has, so I can't envision any problems.
