There is a lady in our quilting group who knows everything about quilting (eye roll). another gal was sewing on binding using her walking foot & serpintine stitch. This lady told her she would ruin her walking foot as they were designed for only straight stitching. Who knew.

It may depend on the walking foot. The walking foot on my July HZL-DX7 has a wide enough needle area to accommodate decorative stitches. The first time I used it for that purpose, I did manually lower the needle just to make sure it wouldn't hit the foot.

Interesting. I would have asked her to explain how it would ruin her walking foot. My walking foot is wide enough to accommodate every stitch my machine has, so I can't envision any problems.

Normally I just avoid her. LOL. This time I did ask and she said your walking is not designed for such side to side movement ( insert her tone of don't question me, I know best).
