Open Toe Walking Foot W/Guide

A nice walking foot for those times you need to sew through multiple layers. Installation is tricky to begin with but eventually you get the hang of it. Worked great for going through my quilt top, batting, and backing material.

I bought this open-toed walking foot because it is easy to see exactly where the needle is going, really important for quilting 'in the ditch.' It worked beautifully until it started falling apart. First the foot plate fell off. I'm pretty handy so I figured out how it attaches and tightened the metal arms that hold it in place. That worked for a while, then it happened again; I tightened a tad more. Then a tiny screw fell out. I saw that it goes into the white housing (There is a matching one on the other side.) and tried to put it back in with a tiny Phillips screwdriver while the foot was still on the machine. I couldn't get it to 'bite,' so I took the whole assembly off and got a better look. Doing that showed me the tiny screw goes into the arm that holds the foot plate on. I tightened it in, with foot plate secure (I thought), put the assembly back on the machine and resumed sewing. Then I started hearing noises that didnt sound like parts were moving smoothly, then the foot plate fell off again! I've decided to give up and finish my quilt with the walking foot that came with my machine. It may be harder to see where the needle is, but maybe it won't fall apart. By the way, I love the forked arm that fits on the needle bar to control the upper feed dogs (more reliable than the single, non-forked bar that sits on the top and can get stuck), and the quilting guide bar that slides snugly into the back of the white housing. Great features, just not well made. Too bad. Of course it's Made in China.

** Update** Customer service is excellent, I was promptly provided a replacement. I hope this one lasts longer. Poorly made. On the second time using the metal guide broke. The broken guide makes using this foot pointless.

This works great for thick/quilted fabric! Just wish I had bought one years ago!

Once I realized how to move the needle over on my machine (operator issue, nothing to do with the walking foot), I was able to use the walking foot right away. It was very easy to install. My nine-year-old is using it for quilting, and the lines are perfectly straight.

I am pleasantly surprised how well this works. I was very skeptical it may be a piece of crap because of the bad reviews and the cost. Just finished up a lap quilt, a couple table runners, and some hot pads and so far so good! No complaints here! Easy to put on and take off and definitely the right price. I don’t go faster than the middle speed on my machine like it states in the instructions, maybe that’s why it hasn’t broken yet. Feeds my quilt sandwiches through without any issues.

This foot made my quilting so much easier. It attached easily to my brother sewing machine. It also fits my singer as well so I have two options. Both are more modern machines. I don't believe this will fit my old in cabinet singer machine. Anyway it works great and gets the job done. Connects easily to pretty much any low shank machine and makes quilting multiple layers a breeze.

I received this walking foot in a timely manner, was packaged well. First thing I noticed was that while the box it came in was stamped Brother, it is just a universal type walking foot for a low shank machine. I had to get my husband attach it for me, not enough hands. The directions show attaching it by using a coin in the screw. That does not work on my machine, Brother SE1900. I was waiting for this to arrive, was in the middle of quilting project. Straight stitching, thin layers, minimal seams. The new walking foot broke with in two passes. The little prongs that fit in the foot to hold the bottom piece on are not long enough to hold it. Have to be careful putting it back together, the bottom piece has to be able to move to work the fabric. After the foot broke, it caused my needles and thread to break as well. The foot does not line up correctly. I had to make adjustments in order to have the stitching where needed. I should have read the 1 star reviews a bit better. If I didn't need it to finish up current projects, would consider returning it. However, according to the reviews, returns are a lot of trouble, and I can at least patch it back together enough to use until I can order and receive a new one...from a different seller.

save yourself a lot of trouble. this product is junk. the base of the foot fell off a few times. after a few days of use, something gave way inside and deposited tiny shards of metal on faceplace of sewing machine. now the sewing machine is having trouble in bobbin area. you must return and pay shipping, a credit of 20$ would be credited, however, mailing address is in the States. shipping costs would be more than the shipping credit. item was shipped in a box that imitated Brother logo.

Good easy to use
