The walking even foot is used when sewing certain stretch fabrics, fabrics that need careful pattern matching, imitation leather, layered fabrics such as quilts and velvets.
Designed with it's own set of feed teeth, the walking even dual presser sewing foot is armed to give an even feed on the top of the fabric while the swing machine feeds the bottom.
The walking foot gets it's name because it actually walks the top layer of fabric along with the bottom keeping it even.
Velvet"s pile makes it incredibly difficult to sew without shifting layers.Reducing presser foot pressure will reduce press marks and sewing in the direction of the pile when joining seams will help.
Do you have a sticky situation? The walking even dual feed foot will help in these cases. Materials that tend to adhere to the presser foot will be easier to sew. Fabrics such as imitation suede, imitation leather and vinyl will not stick to the bottom of the walking foot.
