You can SID without a walking foot. I do this all the time. Take some of the pressure off your foot. Keep your feed dogs up. You don't want the bottom to feed in on its own. Hold your right hand like I'm doing in the picture, It is curled up towards my chest. Guide with your left hand behind the pressure foot. If you see small puckers developing anyhow, lift the pressure foot with the needle down. Use your seam ripper or stiletto to push extra fabric ahead, without causing a pleat. PM me if you still need help. Send your phone # and I will call and try to walk you through it.
