Genuine Singer Even Feed - Walking Foot with Video Instructions

I was repairing leather suite which required stitching fabric to leather. The normal feed dogs struggled to pull it through and I had a lot of small stitches, when I particularly wanted longer ones for leather. The even feed foot makes it straight forward to have even length stitches. Its biggest benefit is that if you want to start the stitch run very slowly, by turning the wheel by hand, you can guide the fabric using one hand only as you turn the sewing machine wheel with the other. The walker foot pulls the fabric and leather through as you turn the wheel. This is very helpful in a run as you go from say two layers of leather, to one of fabric and leather. You can stop, wind the difficult bit through by hand, and then continue using the motor.

Brilliant! Fits my Singer Heavy Duty machine perfectly. Makes a lot of noise with all its moving parts, but you can watch the noisy little feet step on the fabric and pull it through evenly as you’re working, it’s genius! I’ve been working a lot with fine stretchy jersey and this walking foot has made it much easier.
