Thank you! Thank you! It’s been a while since I’ve used my walking foot. Searching for help, I found your blog. Thank you for the laugh and the help. Adorable! I’ll always smile when I use the foot and think of your words.

According Beths Creative website:
http://www.bethscreative.com/walking_foot.htm

Use the “sewing” sole for sewing on leather, velvet, for matching plaids, etc. There are both 1/4″ and 1/8″ markings on the sole to serve as seam and cornering guides. The additional seam guides shown here allow you to do channel quilting without marking!

Use the “quilting” sole when machine quilting. The new quilting sole has an “open toe” configuration to improve visibility when quilting. It also provides 1/4″ and 1/8″ markings to serve as seam and cornering guides. The back of the quilting sole is designed to reduce drag on the quilt, further promoting perfect feed.

Any suggestions on using this with slippery fabric seams? Should I put the guide on the left only? I, too, do not have the instruction booklet. Do you know how to get one? I am sewing 18′ long drapery panels and the seams are puckering. I am hoping this walking foot is my answer.

Thanks for your wonderful instructions; can you tell me what you normally set your stitch length and width for quilting with the WF?

Hi Wendy, Wow, that stinks that even a new walking foot wouldn’t have any directions included. Glad my tutorial could be of help!

Mary Lynn, I’m glad the instructions could help. My love affair is still going strong; I hope yours endures as well

Hooray! Mine (new) didn’t come with any instructions and had me baffled! Now I can sew to my heart’s content
Thanks a bunch!

Enjoyed the peek into your love affair with the walking foot. I’ve wanted one forever, and just bought a used one… no instructions… so I found you, and appreciate the time spent explaining the ins and outs of installation. Thank you!
