My Janome 6600P manual specifies straight stitch modes only for the dual feed foot.
It alters the timing/movement and messes with the machine correctly forming decorative stitches. Serpentine may be gently curved enough to work okay.

I have used the blanket stitch and other stitches with my walking foot and there is no damage--I also back up and no damage. Some people give information without checking the facts. You are right to do an eye roll--lol. There may be a difference with a dual foot and not a walking foot which is a separate item.

I had heard this years ago. Now it seems that technology has caught up with creativity. Sound like we need to check with our individual manufacturer.
I have also heard (or read) that you can't or shouldn't stitch backward with the walking foot. Is that the same situation? I've never found a need to go more than a few stitches backward with any foot, so I don't know what the fuss is. Some of the decorative stitches do involve going backward and forward a bit.
