WALKING PRESSER FOOT
Fabrics which usually require skillful handling may be
seamed with more expert results and with a minimum
of preparation when tne Walking Presser Foot is used.
This foot has become an essential for the woman who
desires perfection in her straight stitching, yet is
interested in time-saving methods.
The Walking Presser Foot affords the gentle handling
of seams that you might give in careful hand work. It
neither stretches nor eases the seam edges. The action
is one of firmly holding the seam while the needle
enters and rises out of the fabric and then of gently
carrying the seam along with an upper feeding motion
in unison with the feed of the machine. This forms a
seam exactingly smooth on materials such as napped
coatings, velvets and velveteens, rough textured coat
ings or drapery fabrics, plastics, supple leather and
th,e like.
When stitching multiple layers of fabric as is occa
sioned when making slotted seams, lapped seams and
outlining lapel and collar edges, the Walking Presser
Foot produces superior results.
