I did it, and it worked fine with my faggoting stitch. I did manually do a few stitches to make sure it was clearing the foot, it did come very close to the edge. By the way, the faggoting stitch works real nice for a SID.

I have been experimenting using the pre programmed embroidery stitches on my machine for quilting. I use my walking foot. You need to make sure that the space in the foot has a larger opening like the zigzag foot. I will use the hand wheel very slowly to make sure the stitches fit within the space on the walking foot before I start. The needle will probably break before the foot would if it doesn't fit.

and.....as long as a decorative stitch moves forward it will work. you may need slow down. the walking foot can't go backwards.

Interesting. Now I need to take a look at my machine and it's walking foot to see if I can do decorative stitches with it.
|
I use it all the time fot decorative stitches!

I have a brother machine and there is an open toe walking foot available that will accomadate up to a 5mm wide stitch. I believe the instructions do say "straight and zigzag"but it was advertised as for decorative stitching. I use it for dec. stitching with no problems. |
Excellent advice! I'd be brave after checking out all the parts put on an old needle and thread up. Be sure to go slowly at first.
|
I use mine for zig zag and any stitches that don't require a backward motion.
I make sure that I use the hand wheel to check that the design in narrow enough to fit within the space of the foot :D:D:D |
