Forgotten Walking Foot
 

Just wondering if anyone else does this. I don't keep my walking foot on my machine all the time & don't make very many quilts. When I make a quilt I often forget to put my walking foot on until all of a sudden during my quilting I start getting little puckers in my fabric. Then it's a "duh" moment & I stop & put it on in the middle of the quilting process. Does anyone else have this type of senior moment or am I the only one?

I use my walking foot to attach bindings and yes sometimes I am struggling and wondering why this is happening and it's because I did not use the walking foot. I also use it when making my x's on squares that are going to be used to make a rag quilt.

Mine is on permanently! Luckily I have Pfaff machine with IDT that I can easily switch on or off but I've found no reason to turn it off. That said I piece by machine but mostly quilt by hand.

I had 2 walking feet for my old Designer 1 and never used them. Now that I have a Viking Epic and it came with this walking foot and interchangeable feet I keep it on the machine for most all my sewing. Ordered the decorative foot with the center flange so I can use it with the decorative stitches on the machine. Still use some of the other feet I kept out from the Designer 1 but usually its the walking foot on my machine these days..........unless I'm embroidering.....of course. Don't know why I never used the walking foot in the past but sure kicking myself now for not using it.

I have one machine i keep the walking foot on, and I made a lable for the machine "walking foot" and stuck it on the machine. I had way too many senior moments too.

I have my dual feed foot on a good portion of the time. I even piece with mine but it is different than the walking foot. I used to keep it on my small machine all the time

yep, forget mine. I did learn this year when making a top that it helps control the fabric when seaming knit fabric. No puckers

I use mine to put the binding on every quilt, so it is automatic to me to use it. But, my bernina came with this wonderful foot cabinet that stands near my machine. I use many of the feet all the time. I also use it to match plaids and designs when sewing on those type fabrics.

I also use many of my feet for different tasks, it makes my work and life so much easier.

I have a Pfaff also with the IDT so I use it engaged on the machine all the time.
