ADAPTER FOR LOW SHANK ATTACHMENTS
This adapter is used for attaching screw-on presser feet to this machine. Following is explanation about
installation of walking foot.
This foot is very useful for sewing materials such as vinyl cloth, synthetic leather, thin leather, etc. These
materials are difficult to be fed when sewing but this foot can prevent such materials from crumpling,
slipping or sticking between presser foot and materials thanks to even feeding upper and lower materials.
You can use walking foot only for sewing STRAIGHT STITCH (
·
) and ZIGZAG STITCH (
).
You can not use this foot for sewing other patterns including horizontal feed (STRAIGHT & ZIGZAG
STITCH).
