Your videos are so informative and presented in such a polished and professional manner. The lighting, closeups, clear sound, and organized flow of information make for a pleasant learning experience.

[@massagebyfeet]

That was very helpful. I was unaware of the neutral position to lock stitches. Thank you.

[@StellaMae-MissFitz]

I didn't know abut the parallel position of the stitch selector allowing you to stitch in place and lock stitches. I always learn something new, Thank You!

[@flutterbyhats]

I just got my featherweight for my bd and am so thankful for you tube!!

[@lynneskinner9144]

Thank you for this video, I just got my machine I have so much to learn .

[@bettyhazel6282]

Oh, I just found the written instructions and placement photo on your site. Thanks. I would still love a video, though. You are such a great company. I just love how my walking foot was wrapped so pretty with fine paper and a sweet rick rack tie. I teased my husband and told him it was a gift from my boyfriend, and did not immediately unwrap it. Ha! .....funny because he is the one how ordered it for me just a few days ago.

My Featherweight Thanks you and I think you are a great teacher. Thanks for all the clarity. Thumbs up!

[@janiceseigler6317]

Great demo using the walking foot. Thank you so much for the precise instructions!

[@rosemaryladinsky533]

Thanks for neutral info. Didnt know.

[@rogerholloway8498]

Nice demonstration! Thanks!

[@Redsquirl30]

its interesting, on my 221, I never had to remove the thread cutter to operate this foot. But now that I found a 222k which this model is in this video, you have to.

[@8machines62]

I have your walking foot and haven’t used it. I will tomorrow!!

[@stitcherscottage]

Thank you for the explanation. How do you use the bar that comes with it to line up rows?

[@joeschmidhofer2674]

Interesting stitching in place to lock at the start of a line is stitching vs the usual forward-reverse-forward. What’s the reasoning behind that?

[@jimmyzbike]

I love that walking foot! I have a “singer” branded one but the feed dogs don’t match up. I’m gonna look for yours! Thanks

If you use the walking foot for regular piecing, how do you maintain a 1/4" seam allowance?

[@bettyhazel6282]

I just received the walking foot from you. How does the seam guide bar work? I am so excited!

[@featherweightshop]

Draw one pencil line to make your initial quilting line. You can then insert the bar in either direction and follow along, using the bar, the previous quilting line to make all your subsequent quilting lines evenly spaced.

[@maridonnahicks5479]

Do you have to loosen the tension to get the longer stitch length? I am using the stitch length of 6 but still getting a smaller stitch length.

[@featherweightshop]

No, the tension shouldn't be too loose, but you may need to adjust the pressure on the presser bar. Check out our other video tutorials for how to adjust. Happy to help!

[@weddingbysusan]

I ordered this foot from you which arrived with no instructions. I didn’t know to remove the thread cutter and I broke the plastic mount trying to get it to go down properly. Wonder if you will replace it?

[@kathleens1294]

Is there a walking foot for the singer 201-3 sewing machine? Where can I get one?

[@featherweightshop]

Yes, it would be the same one as for the Featherweight. They are both low shank, straight stitch machines, so the feeding would be similarly aligned: singer-featherweight.com/products/walking-foot-even-feed
