Hi – just a note to remember. When attaching your walking foot, be SURE to tighten it all the way using the lever in the back, and then check it again before sewing. I accidentally did not have mine tightened all the way when I began sewing, and it caused me to lose my machine to the shop for 4 months with massive repairs. The shop owners had to send it back to Germany to figure out exactly how to fix the damage – needless to say, I now triple check that all my feet are firmly attached!

OMG- thank you for that tip! Sorry that happened to you.

It would be helpful to review how to center the foot. There have been several comments on Facebook
. Many people are confused about how to adjust the center blade.-
I agree. For me, the center blade looks crooked, or angled to the diagonal over the seam, when I attempt to stitch in the ditch with this walking foot sole attached. The earlier post about moving the needle a bit also seems necessary, in order to ensure the needle is actually stitching ” in the ditch.” I’ve ripped out more “in the ditch” seams than I care to remember.

Though I don’t have the stitch-in-the-ditch sole, this video was helpful to me. I never knew to lower the feed dogs and that clever way of getting the needle thread through the sole. Thanks for these tips!

I love the #10 foot for stitching in the ditch on garments and will love the walking foot too. I have only tried out the sole on a straight seem as suggested, but do you find that the front of the walking foot s-i-d sole plate obscures your vision when you need to see where to stop the seam? Maybe there’s a marking I haven’t observed. It might be nice it this plate were available in a clear material, at least at the front, the way some other feet are available.

Hi @mhwhitaker, and thanks for checking out my tip! I have only used the stitch-in-the-ditch technique with Walking foot #50 and the sole with guide when I’m stitching in seams from edge to edge across the quilt. I’ve never needed to see where to stop under the foot before. It is possible you could leave the needle down in place and raise the presser foot to get a peek at how close you are to your stopping point. Cheers!

Helpful. I often find that I have to move the needle over a smidge.
