I think the walking foot works well with smaller projects but I tried the foot with a wavy line stitch on a larger quilt but I found it was not smooth enough, then I attached the free motion foot and with the feed dogs down it was a smoother transition. What are your thoughts?
@@dianajones9082 thanks for your comment! I think you can get a more consistent line with the free motion line since you have to start/stop to adjust the quilt. But both have pros and cons!
Hi, thanks for your entire quilt series. I am at the stage of quilting my quilt and I am in agreement with you about the wave stitch. I only quilted one quilt and I did a boxy zig zag along and across each block. I liked the outcome. I have been practicing with my free motion and am not quite ready to quilt with it yet. I still have to get the speed and stitch length and waves to compliment each other; in other words my quilting is choppy looking. Thank you so much for your videos, you are so very helpful. God Bless you
I love the zig zag quilting idea! I bet that is beautiful and so unique! Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment. Happy quilting!
Thank you for the basic information I'm new to quilting and I am trying to use my walking foot, your video helped me realize I did not put it on properly. I'm on it now.
Hey! Great question! I typically do both, more so pressing to one side. If you do it this way, when you look at your seam from the top of the quilt, you’ll see that one side is slightly higher. Your quilting stitch blends in better if you quilt over the less higher side. If that makes sense! If you’re pressing open, both sides should be equal, and your stitch should fit snuggly in between 😀
First time watching your videos. Found the explanations and practical demonstrations easy to follow. Will now consider using the wavy lines design on future quilts. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
No ma’am! Feed dogs stay in their regular setting, just like with your presser foot, when using your walking foot! It’s only with the free motion foot that we drop them down. Hope this helps!
You helped me decide to use the wave design and made it look very easy and fun. I look forward to viewing all your lessons, esp., free motion quilting since I have no confidence at all in doing that. I tried it and have had no luck. Thank you.
