Now I am wondering about using the walking foot for just sewing things together or do I need to change to the regular foot. I can play around with it but it is so much easier to have you all tell me what you have done. Ha! Is it coming across that I might be a bit lazy? Or just in a hurry to finish up.
Most "walking feet" allow you to piece also, but remember to slow your machine down everytime you use the machine with the walking foot attached. If you don't you can be hurt and your machine damaged. (Please don't ask how I learned this lesson, cost me a new walking foot and a ride to the shop to learn it.....!)
