Walking foot
#11
I did it, and it worked fine with my faggoting stitch. I did manually do a few stitches to make sure it was clearing the foot, it did come very close to the edge. By the way, the faggoting stitch works real nice for a SID.

I have been experimenting using the pre programmed embroidery stitches on my machine for quilting. I use my walking foot. You need to make sure that the space in the foot has a larger opening like the zigzag foot. I will use the hand wheel very slowly to make sure the stitches fit within the space on the walking foot before I start. The needle will probably break before the foot would if it doesn't fit.

I have a brother machine and there is an open toe walking foot available that will accomadate up to a 5mm wide stitch.
I believe the instructions do say "straight and zigzag"but it was advertised as for decorative stitching. I use it for dec. stitching with no problems.

I use mine for zig zag and any stitches that don't require a backward motion.
I make sure that I use the hand wheel to check that the design in narrow enough to fit within the space of the foot :D:D:D
