Unscrew the nut on the left side of the foot and slip the walking foot on. replace the screw, make sure you put the little arm that looks like a horseshoe over the nut on the right side. Tighten the screw on the left and you are ready to sew. Hope that helps.

A must, especially for straight line. Eliminates pleats in your quilting.

I'm so dependant on my 1/4" foot that I haven't attempted to piece with my walking foot. I know I just need to figure it out and put some tape down, but I'm lazy. lol

The directions I got were in a different language. I had to look up a picture online to figure it out.

A walking foot is a must if you sew on fleece at all. It's the only thing that keeps the fleece from moving around.
I also use mine for putting on bindings.

I hit the backstitch button on my machines - seems to do what I wanted it to do. Been using it over 10 years. My last Brother came with a walking foot but it fell apart soon after I started using it. I WOULD NOT BE WITHOUT A WF.

I used a generic one once on a customer's white quilt. Tiny specks of black came out of it. I am guessing it was some kind of lubricant. I called the company and they were no help. I ordered another from someone else. Same thing happened. This time I called the company and they were very apologetic but what could they do? One girl did try to offer some cleaning tips. It was a nightmare. I have never used one again and do just fine without it.

I also signed the petition to keep fabric in the stores or bring it back.

I started using my walking foot yesterday for my Baby Lock Ellure Plus. I absolutely love it! It does a wonderful job! My walking foot has a little fork looking thing that actually has to be placed on the needle screw before it is screwed into place.
