No! You definitely shouldn't use a walking foot for decorative stitches as they will become distorted! A walking foot is designed to only take the fabric in one direction but, for decorative stitches, the fabric is generally moved in several directions . The only time you can guarantee it to work is if the stitches move forward towards you - I hope that makes sense!
