The Walking Foot

A walking foot sewing machine doubles the amount of pressure exerted on a piece of fabric while holding down the top part of the fabrics you’re sewing with. The pressure is generally equal to the feed dogs on the bottom. The walking foot gently guides the fabric through the machine with even pressure, protecting the fabric from jams that can damage it. This dual action pressure ensures that whatever you’re sewing is stitched evenly, cleanly, and correctly every time. All you have to do is hold your fabric in place and start the engine.

A walking foot on a home sewing machine is usually an attachment and is commonly used for more substantial projects like jeans, jackets, and quilts. However, a walking foot in a professional sewing shop is essential for projects with extra thicknesses like leather, upholstery, and canvas.
