Walking Foot for Sewing Machines

I see lots of people were confused with how to use this item, as it did not come with instructions. Let me help a little. .... the main walking foot item is attached to the post that holds your regular foot. For mine, I had to take my small screwdriver, remove the screw from the left side of the post, and then slide the walking foot in with the large plastic part in the back. The metal piece that has a diamond shaped flat piece and a small rod goes through the hole in the back part of the foot. It is used for a guide when doing parallel lines. The third piece that comes with this is a darning foot, I believe and I have no idea how to use it. But for me the other two pieces are worth their weight in gold, since I am a quilter and mainly do sew in the ditch or cross hatch designs.

My sister told me that I needed a Walking Foot for my Singer 2263 (a very simple, beginners machine) when I complained about thread snags and breakage while sewing two or more layers together... The Singer site wanted much more for this piece, so I took a chance and went with this "generic" version. It works PERFECTLY! To install it, all I had to do was remove the screw on the left side of the shank, slip the walking foot into place (with the plastic piece on the right side slipped over the needle screw on the right). Done! Took less than 2 minutes to install and I was off and quilting with ease! The fabric slips effortlessly through the machine now, and no more thread snags every 5 inches! LOVE LOVE LOVE this little piece! It will make quilting so much easier for this newbie. :)

I really like this product. It sews through many layers. As to the users who didn't get instructions, I don't think anyone did-I looked in my sewing machine instruction book to find them, and you should not need a screw. I use a brother se-350, google "brother se-350 how to attach a walking foot" you'll be so happy you did. It's an easy install (I don't think it matters what machine you have, but if you would like to use your brand to google for help, that should work just fine too). If you are sewing through more than 6 layers you may have to help it "walk" just a little, like mitering a denim corner or something like that. I am not sorry I went generic versus name brand. By the way- I love the refurbished brother se-350 embroidery machine I bought here on overstock.

I just received this walking foot and after playing around with it was able to install it on to my machine. I am a new sewer and wanted to make a simple block baby quilt for a friend who is having a baby. Well, It was a success, this walking foot made it so simple to sew thru 3 layers of fabric and batting! My husband and mother could not believe I made such a beautiful baby quilt. I am inspired to make many more. This is a must for all quilters, especially beginners.

I have an old style Bernina and needed to purchase a shank adapter in order to install this walking foot. Once installed, it wasn't exactly straight (due to the large "behind" of the foot getting in the way of the lever on the back of my machine that holds the shank in place) but, it got the job done and without any fear of it snapping the sewing needle on any width. Overall, it's alright. If you can get a cheap walking foot that was built for your machine, get it. If you can't afford the big buck foot, this is a reliable alternative.

I've been making machine quilts for years now and cannot understand how I managed. This gizmo sews a "straight as an arror" seam/stitch through several layers of fabric and batting. It was a bit tricky fitting on to my Kenmore machine but it works well now. If you quilt and do not want to spend $$ on a special machine - this does the trick!

I love this product. I have hestitated buying a walking foot because I didn't think one would work on my treadle sewing machine, but I was certainly wrong. This one works great on my 1940s vintage Singer. Thanks to mnibecke, too, for including directions on how to attach the foot to my machine. I think I could have figured it out if there hadn't been the darning foot in the package, too, just to confuse me!

This walking foot may be fine for some sewing machines but the shaft is too short for a Singer 401 sewing machine. I was very disappointed.

Use all the time Makes sewing on some craft and fabric much easier

I am a quilting beginner and never used a walking foot. I only knew I needed a low shank foot. Took a chance on this one and it works great on my machine a KOYO model #1230. My only question is the correct use for the other foot that comes with it. Do you turn off or leave on your feed dog?

Identical product to the one sold by Brother, but $$$$ less expensive. Solved my sewing problem! Thanks!

Great little foot. Fast service and the seller was even kind enough to follow-up with me to make sure I received!

I loved it! I was exactly what I hoped for. Price was the best online.

I love this walking foot. I've wanted one for some time but all the ones I saw were priced much higher, so I admit that price was a consideration in my choice. This one is great. It had no instructions as to installation but it was pretty easy to figure out. Helps to sew nice straight lines and my fabric doesn't twist out of place and have to be re-sewn.

This has made my quilting a real breeze.

Just what I needed for my quilt @ just the right price

As I expected. Works well

Well made. Does what it is supposed to do and does it well.

I have quilted many quilts with this foot (over 10) on my home sewing machine. It has exceeded my expectations!

I have ordered other times from overstock and will continue to do so. The shipping is quick, and you get exactly what you order.

I have not used this product yet but I wanted to give a review due to how fast it arrived!!! I ordered this less than 48 hours ago and it was on my doorstep today when I arrived home! I am so happy that I will certainly be shopping here more often! I have never heard of this website before but since other places (remaining un-named) do not accept pay pal i shopped around.. I am so thankful that I found Overstock.com!

I was very pleased with this walking foot. Was a little Leary buying this online. But it is good quality, will be a returning customer.

It fits my sewing machine and works just fine. I'm very happy with it.
