The walking foot is very useful for sewing materials
such as vinyl cloth, synthetic leather, thin leather, etc.
These materials are difficult to feed when sewing. The
walking foot prevents these materials from crumpling,
slipping or sticking to the sole of the presser foot and
the material.
Note
● Only use the walking foot with straight or
zigzag stitches. Do not use other patterns.
Reverse stitches can not be sewn with the
walking foot.
Turn off the machine.
