I broke 2 W.F. doing this, finally figured it out...think about it...the gears are going forward, not backward. If you can do it then :thumbup:
I just looked it up online. The Babylock walking foot is not designed for sewing in reverse - http://www.babylock.com/ftp/whitepapers/BLG-WF.pdf

The Bernina walking foot works fine in reverse - http://www.bethscreative.com/walking_foot.htm

I never knew that!
