If it puckers, it is not working correctly.
Great idea to use it for curtains - I'm going to try it the next time I do long strips. But uh-oh I'm addicted to my 1/4" foot... I've only been using it for sandwiched stuff for SITD, straight-line and binding. Since I dont fmq it gets a lot of use,
I have a brother 1500s quilting machine, and it came with a walking foot, AND the edge of the walking foot is exactly 1/4 inch. LOVE it!
