I have a singer walking foot. I back stitch all the time but sometimes I just lift it a tiny bit and stitch in place a couple times. My only problem is the back slips off once in a while and the walking part comes off. Really thinking about a new one but I've had this one for quite of few years and it came with some other stuff I bought at a second hand store. I just have to watch out for the slip off.

I did not know that one should not back stitch with a walking foot; but it makes sense that you shouldn't. I have been back stitching with the walking foot on my Bernina for ten years. So far, I have not had a problem. Guess I'll go to stitching in place at the beginning and end. Thanks for the information.

My Janome dealer says it is not a good idea to use any decorative stitches that go backwards with the accu-feed foot, so I'm assuming that also means backstitching on a regular basis. You know what they say about assuming though...lol.

I have a Juki also, and in reading various topics tonight I came across some saying you should not back stitch with a walking foot (which I have been doing). So, I took out the manual and it does not say you should not back stitch. I may call the shop where I bought the machine, or call or email Juki directly. I will post the anser they give me.

My Juki manual says nothing about it but my Brother machine
says you should not.
The reason I,m asking is I have been locking in my stitches and
the foot, (Juki) is starting to make a groaning noise, (only way to
describe it) and you can hear it from other rooms.
I,m wondering if I did something wrong in doing this or not.
I appreciate input from all you experts.
Thanks,
Elaine
