I would oil the foot with sewing machine oil where it is attached to the fitting. Be sure to then run the foot on a scrap for awhile to remove any excess oil.

SOURCE: How do I attach a walking foot

Okay let's get started.

  • First let's look at the walking foot.
  • Turn the bulky body so that it's away from you.
  • On the left you see a groove that is going to be where you attach the foot to your machine.
  • On the right is a u-shaped arm which you can move up and down. It will go over the needle clamp
Now, let's remove your present foot from the machine and look at it.
  • Loosen the foot screw until it almost comes off. (if it does come off, screw it back on a bit.) The screw is on the left of the foot-bar.
  • On the right you'll see the needle bar with a needle clamp (what you tighten when you replace a needle) on the right of the needle-bar.
Okay the walking foot business.
  • slide the walking foot into position so that the foot screw is in the slot on the right and the u-shaped arm is over the needle clamp, with the needle clamp in the middle of the u-shaped opening.
  • Tighten the foot screw securely, it's going to be under more strain than normal.
  • While you're at it, check that the needle-clamp is nice and tight as well.
Okay, then! There you go... Happy sewing.
Are you happy? Than please vote

SOURCE: stitches

Usually a walking foot is for straight forward stitching only.It keeps the many layers from shifting for you. The "hand-look" quilting takes a couple stitches forward then one back. If you look close, you will see about every other stitch is thicker and stands out more.

You have to unscrew the presser foot, then attach the WF, using the same screw.

Make sure the lever on the WF rests on top of the needle bar clamp.

Some WF have a two prong lever and this fits around the needle clamp like a lobster claw.

How to fix guiding arm to Janome DXL603 walking foot & what thickness cotton and needle are best? Top tension? Cotton fabrics & 2mm wadding used.

This is a tutorial for sewing 1/4" seam on a quilt sandwich but also shows how to install the walking foot:
http://www.janomespecials.com/mc11kse/video/even-feed-quarter-inch.html

As for tension, etc., you would test and adjust on a scrap sandwich made of the same material as your project. The top and bobbin threads should meet in the middle of the sandwich. Your machine also has an adjustable foot pressure. If you are sewing a thick sandwich you may need to lighten the pressure so the sandwich will feed easier through the machine.

Here's information about needles. For quilting sandwiches (with woven cotton, not knits), use a "brand new" sharp needle (like a universal, top-stitch, embroidery, or quilting needle) of the size large enough to accommodate the thread you are using and sturdy enough to be able to penetrate the sandwich without bending, probably at least an 80/12 or larger but not so large as to leave holes in the quilt.

https://www.schmetzneedles.com/all-about-needles/

Thread really depends on what you and your machine like to use. You can use cotton or polyester. Just be sure to use a good quality thread--nothing that has been setting in the drawer for 5 years or that was purchased from the bargain bin.

Help! I have a Pfaff Hobbymatic 807 that my mother in law owned. I can not for the life of me find a way to reduce the pressure on the sewing foot. Sewing cotton over fleece

If your machine does not have a pressure regulator (and some machines do not), you can make sewing thicker projects easier by using a walking foot. If you are sewing a quilt (two or more pieces of fabric and batting), a walking foot would be the preferred presser foot. Even reducing the pressure will not be enough.

Why do stitches bunch when using walking foot on 3 layers of quilting fabric?

make sure that the thread tensions are correct for the thickness of material
remember that only the bottom foot walks and draws the material through so it may need a help and be pulled as it sews.
I find that women in sewing shops just love to talk about problems and how they can help so find a shop and discuss any problems with them

I have a Brothers 1500s. When I quilt with it the stiches skip every now an then leaving a large gap between stitches. Do I have the quilt to far up from the base of hte machine when I quilt? Should the...

Your top tension is based on the fabric thickness.. not just a number. Make a test sandwich of all the materials you are quilting with, cotton top, batting, lining, etc. Test your tension on that until you get it right.

The skipping is a symptom of a bad needle or the presser foot not having enough pressure on it. I'm not familiar with your machine so I don't know if it has the ability to add more pressure to the presser foot.

I have an old EuroPro Sewing Machine and lost the user manual years ago.I am trying to figure which accessories to use for quilting. Can you tell which accessory and where it goes and other recommendations...

Try this website, it has lots of good info on feet and where you would use them. http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2009/06/feet-feet-feet/ This should help you identify the feet youve got. Many machines will have a zig zag foot with room for the needle to swing, a zipper foot, a blind hem foot and a buttonhole foot as a basic selection. There are lots of others too for specialised techniques such as rolled hem, overcasting or tuffting.

For Quilting though you actually can get away with just a straight stitch foot to piece the fabric and a walking foot if you are going to machine stitch the layers and batting together. This is a walking foot.
tally_girl_73.jpg Having a quarter inch foot is very handy to achieve perfect 1/4" seams for piecing.tally_girl_74.jpg
Lastly, if you want to try stippling or free motion quilting, you'll need a special foot, and it will probably look a little like this.

How to attach a quilt guide

You have to unscrew the screw for the presser foot first. The walking foot will then fit. Use the same screw to attach the walking foot. Before you insert the screw, take the white handle on the walking foot and slide it on the screw arm for the needle. Now tighten the screw.

Brother cs 6000i squeaking

By any chance were you using your walking foot when it was squeaking? I had the same issue and realized it didn't squeak unless I was using the walking foot, it was actually the walking foot that was squeaking :D I can live with that!
