A walking foot is a foot with feed dogs, or a similar fabric moving mechanism. This is useful when there are many layers of fabric or slick fabric. Then the top layer of fabric can be made to travel at the same rate as the lowest layer (the feed dogs) or an slightly different rate. Then the fabric layers will stay even for the entire length of the seam.

A walking foot sewing machine has this feature built in. Thus you don't need to adjust extra hardware to keep your fabric aligned. (On some, specific feet are needed to use the feature. However, it is easier to adjust than the separate walking foot that I have for my older Singer sewing machine.)

I hope this helps.

Singer Brilliance foot pedal does not work?

Question edited for clarity. Add maker, 'Brilliance' not 'Brilliant'.

Information on checking the foot pedal, but the last article said it was the main control board on this model, but there are a number of model numbers named 'Brilliance'.

Why is my foot pedal on sewing machine not working? Unplug the cable from the power outlet and also the machines. Use a screwdriver to take the foot pedal apart and check the wires and connections and make sure nothing is blocking it. If you can't find anything wrong you may need to buy a new foot pedal.

Model 4220/4228: when the on/off switch in turned on the machine runs without the foot petal being used. Could the foot petal need to be replaced?

Likely either the foot pedal is sticking and not fully extending to the off position, or the foot pedal has failed, or the problem is with control board inside the machine.

As a test, hold the foot switch fully open with a hand or hands, then turn on machine to see if problem goes away.

If problem goes away, then likely its the foot pedal, but could be all that is needed is cleaning the foot pedal so it fully opens by itself. It might also be possible to stretch the spring inside the foot pedal, but I don't know.

If still same issue when holding foot pedal fully open, try unplugging the foot pedal from machine and then power up. If it still runs with foot pedal disconnected, then likely the problem is the control board inside the machine and not the pedal.

Is there a larger foot rest or a way to lower and extend foot rest

Foot rest? Are you referring to the foot control unit or a presser foot? If it is presser foot, most likely you do not have the correct presser foot for your machine. Search the internet for the "make model presser foot" (substitute make & model with your machine make & model). There are basically 3 presser foot styles--low, high & slant. They are not interchangeable.

If you are talking about the foot control, sometimes you can find other foot control units for your machine, possibly even generic units.

How do I attach the darning foot on a Pfaff Expressions 2.0 please?

on the machine, there is a foot holder attached to the machine, & the feet to the machine will either be snapped on to the foot holder or there is a screw to undo. most of the new machine are snap on feet, take the presser bar lever up, there is a little lever on the back of the foot holder, & you push it toward the foot holder bar & it will release the foot & you put the other foot down on the needle plate & bring the foot holder bar down on the foot until it snaps on to the foot

The small bar that holds the zipper foot on broke. How can I get a new zipper foot?

There will be several zipper feet available at any of the sewing machine stores. You can either take the broken foot with you (or another foot for the machine) or note the shank length and the bar length on the foot. I believe the White uses a low shank foot. In that case, you would get a foot that is designed as a low shank foot (assuming the bar isn't narrower than your current foot), and it will work.

The common Foot styles are low, high and slant.

I hope this helps.

(you can also order sewing machine feet online but you need to know the style of how the foot connects to the machine. The easiest way to do that is to compare it to similar feet in a local store. Most of the online vendors will list the machine brands that are compatible with a given foot. However, I know that Husqvarna low shank feet have changed width over the past 30 years and thus not all of the feet from a new machine are mutually compatible with those for an older machine. So I wouldn't guarantee the match without seeing the feet side by side.)

Presser foot stopped working I turned

Did you connect your machine then press the foot control before you lowered you presser foot? I have a CS6000 and that is what E1 means on my machine. You did not put your model number in so I don't know. You can look in your manual or go online to www.brother-usa.com and look it up for your machine. Try unplugging and plugging it in again, but put your presser foot down then step on your foot pedal.
