Prevents fabric layers from creeping or shifting. Slippery fabrics such as satin will pucker the seam when sewn using the standard foot. This happens because the lower layer of fabric feeds through a little more quickly than upper layer. It is a big problem when sewing quilt layers or when keeping striped or patterned fabrics matched up whilst being sewn.

The Walking Foot has its own built in feed teeth which work in unison with the teeth on the machine, so that both fabric layers are fed along equally.

Please note: Although this foot is a screw-on fitting, it works perfectly on machines that take clip-on feet. Simply unscrew and remove the clip-on presser foot ankle and you can then attach the foot as shown in the picture.

Only suitable for JANOME machines with top loading bobbin (horizontal rotary hook) as shown here.
