Yes I do the zig zag stitch with my walking foot. It works great, I have a Baby Lock machine, and this is the walking foot that came with the machine.

Have never done anything but straight stitch, but if the opening on the foot is large enough don't see why one couldn't do it.
|
I do and have had no problem. I use the walking foot for as much as I can.

That is a good question. I have only used mine for straight stitchs. I never thought about other stitches with it. Lots of helpful answers here. Thank you!

If the opening slot on your walking foot is as wide as the foot you use for zig zag, you should be able to use it.

If this isn't the case, I'd like to know because I've always wanted to use some of my fancy stitches when quilting and using my walking foot.

I use mine a lot with the decorative stitches on my little Brother machine. MOST walking feet do have the hole big enongh for this. BUT, do as katyb said that she does - use the hand wheel to check that the hole in the walking foot is wide enough to do this. I would also just try it on a scrap of fabric (just like a piece of a quilt). Good luck and enjoy the use of the walking foot! :>)

I do it all the time. I have three walking feet, one is like the open toe foot on most machines. My machine is a Janome 6600P, and I do everything from blanket stitch to zigzag with my walking foot.
