Wow. Great to know this stuff.
I am going to try it for the zigzag stitch. I will take it slow and start off making the stitches manually. I do remember reading on the instruction leaflet that you couldn't use the walking foot for reverse stitching. Thank you all SO much for the comments and information. ranger |
I've used a plain zig zag with my walking foot. Mine is a brother brand, I think, but I used it on my Janome MC3500.

Very interesting!

I use the button hole stitch with my walkine foot quite often when binding a quilt. I sew the binding on the back and then trim it with the button hole stitch on the front. Never had any problems.

If the hole where the needle goes through is big enough, you can. On a lot of my quilts, I quilt around the blocks, sort of like sitd, using decorative stitches which are all a form of zig zag and I use my walking foot. I also have a Brother machine and it works just fine.

I have a Viking Rose machine and the walking foot works for most of its stitches, including zig zag and serpentine stitch. The needle moves back and forth, not the foot.
|
I use my built in walking foot on my older Pfaff with any stitch my machine will do and have never had any problem.
|
I have a Bernina and have used walking foot with quilt stitches. worked great.

Walk your needle by hand slowly and see if the needle clears.
