EVEN FEED / WALKING FOOT

The Even Feed / Walking Foot has its own set of feed dogs

that work in conjunction with the sewing machine’s feeding

system to aid the movement of the fabric. This is important

when sewing several layers of fabric, especially when quilting.

This presser foot is also great for matching plaids or stripes

and sewing fabrics with nap or pile, to keep them from shifting.

1. Loosen the presser bar screw, then remove the presser bar

screw, presser foot holder and foot.

2. Place the Even Feed / Walking Foot onto the presser bar,

3. Replace the presser bar screw. Once it is correctly seated

onto the presser bar, secure it in place using a screwdriver.

4. To sew seams in plaid, pile or napped fabrics, place two

pieces of the fabric, right sides together, under the presser

foot.

5. Select straight stitch, with a medium stitch length setting.

Lower the presser foot, then sew the seam from top to

bottom.

backing fabric together with pins or basting. Place all layers

of fabric together under the presser foot. Lower the presser

foot, then sew the layers together.

Note: If desired, lines can be drawn onto the fabric

using a fabric marking pen/pencil and ruler as guides

for stitching.

OPEN TOE FOOT

The Open Toe Foot provides a more visible view of the area

that you will be stitching. Because of its open area at the front,

you can see markings much more easily.

1. Set machine to desired stitch. Attach the Open Toe Foot.

2. With a marking pencil or chalk, trace the outline for your

design or pattern on the right side of the garment.

3. Sew, following the outline you have traced onto your fabric.

Any stitch (except buttonholes) may be used with this foot.

Hint: Use a fabric marker that can be removed easily in

case the stitching does not cover it completely.

I dropped my feed dogs to do some free motion quilting. I am now unable to raise them back up. It's as though the little switch in the back is stuck, but I cant see anything in there that would be causing it. Submitted on 12-2-2017 at 01:28
