Walking Foot Sewing Machine

A walking foot sewing machine is an industrial-type machine that accurately and precisely sews layers of fabric with no slipping or puckering of seams. The two-piece foot feed moves one side at a time, and appears to be 'walking' as it feeds the fabric under the needle.

These machines are perfect for working with multiple layers of heavy fabric, such as upholstery material, and are often used for machine quilting as well. They are usually equipped with straight-stitch and reverse capability, although some also include a zigzag stitch.

Some of the better known models include Reliable, Sailrite, Consew, Pfaff, Alphasew, Adler, Sunstar and Mitsubishi. These tend to be expensive, cumbersome and best suited to commercial applications.

As an alternative to these heavy machines with poor portability, many non-commercial machines can be outfitted with an attachment known as a walking foot attachment. Provided that the machine is well-made and can handle heavier fabrics (such as denim), this is a great alternative for use in machine quilting. Though not a true 'walking foot,' this type of machine and attachment is probably a better fit for most home-based machine quilters.

With teeth that mesh with the sewing machine's feed plate for steady, even pressure, the walking foot attachment will serve to keep the fabric from shifting and the seams smooth and straight. An optional quilting bar attachment can be added, which is helpful in keeping the rows evenly spaced.

These attachments are available for many popular sewing machine models, such as Bernina, Brother, Elna, Pfaff, Singer and Viking. They are relatively inexpensive, many under $30, and are readily available wherever machines are sold.
