Attaching the Walking Foot

The walking foot holds the fabric between the 

presser foot and the feed dogs to feed the fabric. 

This enables you to have better fabric control 

when sewing difficult fabrics (such as quilting or 

velvet) or fabrics that slip easily (such as vinyl 

cloth, leather, or synthetic leather).

!

Follow the steps in “Removing the Presser 

Foot” on the previous page.

Loosen the screw of the presser foot holder 

to remove the presser foot holder.

Set the operation lever of the walking foot 

so that the needle clamp screw is set 

between the fork, and position the walking 

foot on the presser foot bar.

screw, and tighten the screw securely with 

the screwdriver.

Note

• When sewing with the walking foot, sew at 

medium to low speeds.

Memo

• The walking foot can only be used with 

straight or zigzag stitch patterns. Reverse 

stitches cannot be sewn with the walking 

foot. Only select straight or zigzag stitch pat-

terns with reinforcement stitches.

 CAUTION

• Use the screwdriver to tighten the screw 

securely. If the screw is loose, the needle may 

strike the presser foot and cause injury.

• Be sure to turn the handwheel toward the 

front of the machine to check that the needle 

does not strike the presser foot. If the needle 

strikes the presser foot, injury may result.
