[@cjsews]

I used to have a Sun Conure like Pete. Birds are much more company and are amazing than many people know. Thank you for another great instructional video.

[@denisebender5495]

Great video. You explained and demonstrated the two systems very well. Thank you.

[@maryjeanchapple6582]

Your explanations were so helpful and timely for me. Pete is adorable always welcome.

[@marthamurray9855]

I want to make a quilt with minky . I have a 770 and wanted to use my dual feed. I don’t have a walking foot yet. Thanks for answering all my questions about the need for a walking foot.

[@poppies1215]

Pete is never a distraction. What beautiful coloring he has. Thank you for allowing him to star in this video. As for the walking foot I must admit that it has an intimidating look to having to use it. Your instructions are always spot on and a welcome reference tool when I get frustrated with what I may be doing wrong. Thanks a million Cody!🧵🪡🌟

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

He has his moments he was very well behaved for this video haha sometimes he’s very “talkative” haha. Don’t let the walking foot intimidate you 😊. It’s such a fantastic foot and will be your best friend 🥰 thanks for supporting the channel we greatly appreciate it. 🥰

[@joannebrennan7540]

Love my walking foot for machine quilting and putting on my quilt binding!

[@catherineruegsegger9954]

Cody… You are the BEST Bernina ambassador EVER. I often wonder if Bernina knows what a wonderful instructor you are! Your knowledge of Bernina machines is the very best on youtube. Thank you for all your videos! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Cody… Catherine

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment. I started making these videos a few years ago because so many of my customers were getting frustrated because the books that come with the machine were not great and sadly never have been really good. So some of the simplest things were impossible to find and some things are easier to explain in person or via video. I love teaching and sharing knowledge. :) I am so happy you enjoy the channel and videos, it means a lot. People like you is why i keep making videos. :) You have a wonderful Thanksgiving too!!!

[@NemoMeImpuneLacessitNevermore]

Pete is awesome! 🦜 I love when he sews with you!

[@dudenaz]

Great video. I am waiting on delivery of my Bernina B 590. I am a quilter coming from a Pfaff machine to the Bernina world. Great explanation on how the dual feed works and it relation to the walking foot. I subscribed to your channel.

[@stephaniemize321]

Love Pete in the video. So cute! Great explanation of dual feet and walking foot.

[@cheyenne.creates]

Cody you deserve so much more subscribers! As always a very detailed video with a lot of information! And Pete is so precious! Greets from Switzerland 🇨🇭😊

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Thank you I love sharing my knowledge and what I do with the world. Never did I think I would be doing this because I used to be so shy ☺️. Pete 🦜 is my pride and joy thanks for your sweet comment and for supporting my channel, it’s awesome to see a viewer from Switzerland home of BERNINA 😍😍. Super cool.

[@sherrypace8980]

Great explanation! Can’t wait to try both out…

[@marissamelvin5249]

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you

[@sherrypace8980]

Pete is the BEST! Not a distraction at all…

[@lizzymartin6916]

very good tutorial thanks, and i need to look at the 10D for decorative stitches.

[@annesummers09]

Bernina is WAY too expensive for the amount of sewing I do. It would be nice if you did a video on all makes of sewing machines that have built-in dual feed.

[@cookecreeksheep]

Super helpful information! Thanks a bunch.

[@anarchonedesigns]

Excellent explanation of the differences!

[@yvettefeyjoo-booth2670]

Love the way you explain this! Thank you. And your bird is absolutely gorgeous! Look forward to more videos. I own the Bernette b64 airlock and looking to purchase the Bernette b38 sewing machine.

[@brettster3331]

Cody, you and Pete are put out such great videos and teach me so much.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Thank you for this clear, concise information!

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

You’re welcome. Glad you found it helpful!

[@user-xk6vj8vo9v]

I just found you when looking for the definition of dual feed. Love your channel! Just subscribed and will be back! Thanks!

[@georgycolson9671]

This is great! I've always wondered about this! Thanks for sharing!

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Glad it was helpful! :)

[@boxgirl51]

I have dual feed and Absolutely love it! I use it on pretty much everything. I recently made and quilted a tee shirt quilt which was larger than a full bed size which did a great job. Thank you for another great video. 😊

[@lynnebeiler3812]

Thank you so much; this is an incredibly helpful video. All your tips are fantastic.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Thanks so much! Glad you’re enjoying them!

[@donnahart823]

Great video

[@christophernejman]

Love your bird!

[@jenniferlindsay7053]

Thanks Pete & Cody! I've had my 570QE for a couple of weeks and was curious about the difference between the two - I'm not a quilter, so the built-in really suits my garment sewing but will get that walking foot down the road/ the next time I'm possessed to sew with velvet.

[@bg6829]

This video is very helpful ! I was just wondering what the differences are ... and know I know ! THX

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the comment 😊

[@lisegarner4567]

Happy to see Pete again! We were getting worried about him.

[@josiqstevens]

Thank you for educating us on the difference. I imagine the walking foot would br great to use on Minky fabric.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Yes it is the recommended foot for minky fabric 🥰

[@carmenmaldonado6486]

Pete is so cute ❤️

[@auntiear126]

Thanks!

[@joannconley6602]

Thank you for this confusing subject.

[@bridgetjones8339]

Thank you. I’ve been wondering about this. Bernette b77

Какая радостная расцветка рубашки 😊..... хотела бы себе такую же

[@chrisb6842]

❤😊

[@janholman6192]

I'm in the market for the 570 and was wondering if my walking foot that I paid arm over fist for would go the way of the wind since the machine came with the dual feed. Now I can feel confident I can still use it when I purchase that machine. 😘

[@suzzannedempsey6799]

I have a 740. No one told me I couldn't use the guide with my walking foot so I "rest" the dual feed attachment on the screw.

[@Kay-xj8ob]

Cody! Thank you for such great info! And Pete is beautiful!!!

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Thanks for letting me know how much you are enjoying the videos. :) Thanks :D

[@debbiesaiz9923]

Thank you for this video. I have sewn on a Bernina 440 QE for 16 years and was very attached to my walking foot. 2 years ago I got the 770 with the dual feed which I love but I didn't feel like it was up to the task with some things. Now I know I can use my old walking foot on my new machine. I never event thought of it. Thank you! Also Pete is so cute! We added a green cheeked conure to our family a few months ago and he loves to sit on my shoulder when I sew. I loved hearing Pete talking during the video! Do you have a stand or anything that he hangs out on when your sewing? We are trying to find ways to keep ours entertained.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

So many 440 owner transition to the 770 it's a great transition and both wonderful machines. But I 100% agree the dual feed is amazing but there are times when the walking foot is still needed. :) Aww Green cheeks are so adorable! I used to have one of his play stands in the sewing studio but i was running out of space so it stays downstairs, I need to make him a smaller one for the studio so he can have his own space. But yes sometimes he gets board and wants to walk around and chew on walls so then that's when I know he needs to go downstairs and play on his stand. haha Thanks for the message, always a pleasure to hear from a fellow parrot sewer. :D

[@Carol_Sews]

Thank you! Thank you for pointing out that a walking foot is not 9 mm. I’m thinking of getting a 570 QE because I want to quilt using a 9 mm serpentine stitch. It would never have occurred to me that the walking foot wouldn’t allow for a 9 mm stitch. Now I know I might need to buy an additional D foot if I decide to buy this machine. Needing to buy new bobbins, new D feet, and a new single hole stitch plate are really jacking up the price. I love my old artista 170, but it’s motherboard is dying a slow death.

[@kateheads887]

I use the 9mm serpentine stitch with the dual feed no 1 foot. I reduce the foot pressure to about 10-20. I have quilted up to about 60 x 70 without any issues. I have a 770 but need a smaller machine when I move house.

[@JRo605]

I have a 740, it has built in dual feed.

[@daleensteyn1166]

This walking foot is a magic fitting don't go without it it fits my brunette b35

[@ceciliaschleicher278]

IDF!! I hated using the regular walking foot! But, I learned that a regular walking foot can't be used with my machine even though the IDF can be totally disengaged and up out of the way

[@carmenmaldonado6486]

He’s so cute

[@eileenjasper-pottage9425]

Hi Cody, I have.Bernia 435 sewning machine which is fantastic. Can I get a dual feed foot for this machine .Or would it be better if I got myself a walking foot. The Bernia 435 seems to have have left behind with so many Bernia machines coming to the fore front. Would it be possible for you to do a tutorials on this machine please on anything. Thank you. I love the material in your shirt excellent. Cody is delightful do not leave him out of your tutorial’s. Thank for such interesting programmes they are great to watch and learn. Thank you for making so interesting.Eileen.😃

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Your 435 is a wonderful machine sadly they “temporarily “ stopped making but they haven’t started back and it’s been almost two years now. So I don’t have access to a 435 but it’s almost identical to the 475 so I can do some more info on that machines and mention and show stuff that the 435 has. So the 4 series machines don’t have dual feed it’s a mechanism built into the design of the machine so it can’t be added. So the only option is the walking foot however the walking foot is amazing. Thank you for all of the love to my channel and videos. Thanks for watching 🥰🥰🥰

[@eileenjasper-pottage9425]

Thank you for the information.

[@kikacruz8684]

Hi is there a possibility to get a walking foot for Chigaco 7? Tks

[@countkostaki]

The Janome Accufeed system seems to be much more like a walking foot rather than the dual feed system. It's build in like the dual feed system on the Bernina/Bernette/Pfaff machines, but the feed teeth are at either side of the presser foot rather than the single pull at the back. Would you say this is as good as the walking foot, considering this allows the machine to go at 9mm and uses two feed teeth rather than the single one?

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

A great question I am familiar with the Janome accufeed. I like it because it is on the side of the foot and not behind similar to the walking foot. So this allows the accufeed to pull the fabric before it is stitched and more active in the very beginning unlike the Bernina dual feed. However the one complaint my Janome customers have had is the limited number of feet that the accufeed can accommodate. Because the Bernina does offer About a dozen different feet for the dual feed.

[@countkostaki]

@@sewingwithcodyandpete8651 Oh really...? That's interesting because I've got 10 attachments for the AccuFeed system which are all accommodated by the Janome built in system. Maybe it's just regional differences though - but the 10 attachments are what's on offer here in the UK. Having said that do I use all 10 AccuFeed attachments...? No, I don't. The most I use are 3 - the general purpose (this gets use by far the most, probably 90% of the time), the narrow general purpose and the zipper.

[@RonThompson]

B77 has dual feed right?

[@lizziechalcraft]

Can a 9mm stitch be used with the walking foot? The hole doesn’t look wide enough and I don’t want to break a needle.

[@kateheads887]

No, a walking foot can only do up to 5mm. I use the dual feed and reduce the foot pressure, I haven’t had any issues.

[@TheBlueRose10]

Why can not open the video? 😢

[@badwolf54]

Rats! I gave away my walking foot when I bought my 590, because I was told the dual feed replaces it!😩

[@twisterking1963]

You are so WRONG! The Walking Food doesn't transport the fabric at all. The Dual Feed does!. You can easily demonstrate this if you lower the bottom feed and try to sew using only the Walking Foot. The fabric won't move. The Walking Foot is 'powered' through the needle movement. The needle goes up and down all the time and doesn't change with stitchlength or reverse. So if the movement of the needle was used for transport by the Walking Foot it would always move the top fabric in the same direction with the same stitchlength, while the lower layer of the fabric would be transported by the lower feed in the direction and stitch length you have set on the machine.

[@andreaschristofi9188]

Took much talk. I don't think I have learned anything. Too bad I have spent so much money on my machine.

[@singercouk]

love the birdie being picky but there is another diffrence in that dual feed moves both back and forward duplicating lower feed movement where as the walking foot only feeds in one direction. Otherwise great video thanks.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Very true and also the 8 series actually has one that's driven by motor buttt, the 8 series and I have a 14 year love hate relationship so I don't typically talk or promote it. lol Thank you!! :)
