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 quilted
fabrics or velvet) or fabrics that slip easily (such as
vinyl, leather, or synthetic leather).
a
Follow the steps in “Removing the Presser
Foot” on the previous page.
b
Loosen the screw of the presser foot holder
to remove the presser foot holder.
c
Set the operation lever of the walking foot
so that the needle clamp screw is set
between the fork. Position the shank of the
walking foot on the presser foot bar.

Note
• Thread the needle manually when using the
walking foot, or only attach the walking foot
after threading the needle using the
“Automatic Threading” button.
• 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. (see page
62.)
CAUTION
• Use the included screwdriver to tighten the
screw securely. If the screw is loose, the
needle may strike the presser foot and cause
injury.
• Be sure to rotate the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) to check that the needle
does not strike the presser foot. If the needle
strikes the presser foot, injury may result.
