I have a walking foot for my Kenmore. Keep the feed dogs up (engaged), so the top and bottom feed at the same pace! mine will also accommodate the width of the decorative stitches. That said, if you are straight stitching, this will work wonderful, but it's MUCH more difficult to do curves with. Maybe long arches would be ok to do, but designs (daisy, circles, etc.) will be very difficult to control. AND never use the backstitch,or a decorative stitch that used a backwards motion. The walking foot just doesn't do backstitch, it's only a go-ahead device (like flip-flops on your feet, try walking backwards!) No matter what you do, I'm thrilled that your ARE doing it! Explore, enjoy and share with your friends!
