I don't want to abuse my walking fott Is it ok to zig-zag using a walking foot
Kanjelab Intermediate PA Member since 4/20/06 Posts: 133	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/14/11 5:36 PM I like to use my walking foot when sewing a binding on to a quilt top. I thought I'd try zig-zagging on the front, but wasn't sure if my walking foot would like that. It has the clearance for it space-wise, but wasn't sure if it would be a good idea or not. Any thoughts?

If the needle opening on the foot is wide enough to zig zag, you will be fine. The foot itself doesn't care, it's coordinated with the feed dogs. I've used a blind hem stitch to bind a quilt without any issues
