*When these come into the shop, they don’t last long.  Right now, this is the only one available for sale.

Honestly, I don't see how I will ever use any of the newer - later model Walking Feet. This one is in a class all by itself. But then, should it be any surprise coming from the SINGER of yesterday?



Take note of the different toes - perfect 1/4" seaming in line with the inside of the outer right toe





Outer edge of far right toe ~ 3/8" seam perfectly in line for a 3/8 inch double-fold binding seam. Again, all without pinning.




Basting Quilt Block to Batting - I didn't even have to use pins.
Walking Foot sewed perfectly with no shifting!




Outer edge of Left Big Toe ~ 1/4" seam
A guide for 1/4 inch seaming... used in this case to 'quilt' just inside the block.




Close-Up ~ Outer Left Big Toe 1/4" Seam





Please Note the Inside of Inner Left Toe
Perfect guide for "Stitching in the Ditch"



Both of these personal items were made using my own SINGER Walking Presser Foot.






Many thicknesses and no shifting!

(I used a dark brown thread, so you could see it in the photos.)

It is recommended to use a seam or cloth guide for stitching, if the Cloth Guide edge does not align to where you want it, you will see that turning it on end allows the top edge to guide just like I did in the blanket-binding illustration..

Much to my perfectionistic satisfaction, this vintage Singer Walking Foot proved to me that it really and truly is one of my most prized Singer Attachment possessions. And it really does walk (waddle) like a penguin.

The Singer Walking Presser Foot is designed to produce superior stitching on fabrics which, by the nature of their texture, surface, or weave, tend to ease, stretch, or adhere when stitching. Fabrics typical of the group are: Plastics and coated fabrics, Napped fabrics, Pile fabrics, Rough texture fabrics, Knitted fabrics, Polished surface fabrics.

It is also recommended for stitching suede leather, kid, capeskin and fine supple leather used for wearing apparel or trimming accents.

The construction of the Walking Presser Foot provides two toes; the left moves in unison with the feed of the sewing machine, carrying the two plies of material without slipping or stretching; the right toe holds the material firmly in position while the left toe returns for each succeeding stitch.

The delicate but firm handling of the material makes the SINGER Walking Presser Foot especially useful in many construction and finishing steps in sewing, where several layers of fabric are stitched, where bias edges are joined, and where fabrics of different textures are combined such as in: Binding Blankets and other binding operations where binding is guided by hand, Stitching pre-folded hems, or free hand hems in fabrics and plastics, Stay stitching of bias edges, Stitching curved and bias seams, Welt or slotted Seams, Multiple stitching on lapels and facings and Applying patch pockets.




See? Four thicknesses besides the two of blanket binding...
and NO SLIPPING!
It sewed P E R F E C T L Y!!!

You will surely want to sit down with a cup of coffee or tea and learn from the little manual. There is a lot of helpful, practical information that if you know what you are able to do with this gadget ahead of time... perhaps one day when you go to do that "difficult" project or seam, you will be reminded of your Singer Walking Foot and the wonderful aid it can be to your sewing.

A reproduction manual will be provided.
