Walking foot quilting
Walking foot quilting uses a special sewing machine attachment called a walking foot, which helps move multiple layers of fabric evenly through the machine. This device has a built-in mechanism that "walks" or moves in sync with the needle, ensuring consistent feeding of the top fabric, batting, and backing. It results in smooth, even stitches, especially on thick or layered quilts. This technique allows for more precise, professional-looking quilting, making it easier to sew straight lines, intricate patterns, or free-motion designs with better control.
