I'm sorry the walking foot didn't work for you,Jennifer. I would never think of quilting without a walking foot. I did without it for years, but now that I have one I would never go back to quilting without it.

i have been using one for some time now, & really love it. try it, you won't be disappointed.

I have the Brother Project Runway series only it's like that kind, not the Runway Series it'self, but it's just like it. Make sense? I've been wondering if I could get one for my machine and how much they cost. Anyone know? I just found out I'm going to be a great Aunt 3 times over! So, I'll be doing blankets for a while outside of making one for my Gr8t GD! I'm so blessed!

I think a walking foot a must. When sewing designer clothing it helps making plaids, stripes join the top and bottom of fabric move together and tend not to shift.
|
I use mine a lot, even when making handbags.
|
Besides quilting (couldn't do without it!) it also works great for fleece projects or for matching plaids. It keeps everything moving at once!

I paid $125 for one for my Viking and my new Singer came with one. I cannot believe the difference it has made in my
piecing and quilting. I had bought a cheap one for my cheap Brother and I think the key word was "cheap" it didn't work but then the "Brother" is nothing to write home about either. |
You so want a walking foot! Where possible purchase the one that "goes" with your machine. It is amazing the difference between the manufacturer's walking foot and a generic one. Just how it lines up with the machine's feed dogs makes a big difference. I had to replace my Bernina Walking Foot after 12 years of use. Couldn't imagine that I could have worn it out, but I did, 1400 Charity Quilts later!
Some versions may be difficult to attach. Try removing your Needle Screw (this also removes the Needle). Place the claw arm over the area where the Needle Screw goes, replace the Needle Screw and your Needle and tighten in place. See if that works. |
