Vintage Singer
I have a 221 Singer machine, about 1949 , I think. I recently bought a walking foot and a free motion foot on Amazon, very reasonable. I am finding not all walking feet are made equal...lol... Or this machine is just too old to recognize it. The bottom fabric when quilting still likes to bunch up someone. I tried sewing on binding and by the end or corner.... the bottom fabric was 1-2 inches smaller... not good.... suggestions. (I did try pinning, which is a pain, but it still bunches)
Has anyone used a walking foot on this type of machine? I used my free motion for the first time today. I covered the feed dogs with an index card and it seems to work "ok". My question is how to I make the stitches bigger. There is one speed with these machines and my stitches are quite small. I have tried moving fabric faster and stitching slower... is that right?
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
