Quilting Using Walking Foot

Sewing together the quilt top, batting, and backing is
called quilting. You can sew the quilt with the
walking foot to keep the quilt top, batting, and
backing from sliding. The walking foot has a set of
feed dogs that move together with the feed dogs in
the needle plate during sewing.
Memo
Thread the needle manually when using the walking
foot, or only attach the walking foot after threading the
needle using the needle threader.
