Also, the walking foot did not feed very well for some reason, it has never failed me before, but then this is my first try using it on a quilt sandwich. It had a small folded lump at the end of strips where there was a horizontal section to stop at. I always make sure to put the bar in place. Maybe I did not have the sandwich stretched enough.
it is not a generic walking foot, but a Bernina foot, like the machine I was using.
Hi Grammie Jan The next time you take your Bernina in for service, be sure to take the walking foot in to see if maybe a part has worn down. I did a lot of custom quilting for others on my Bernina 1530 and literally worn the foot out. Fortunately, these parts can be replaced and your walking foot will be as good as new.
