Skill-Building Workshop: Walking Foot Quilting

Have a walking foot sitting in your sewing machine accessories and not quite sure what to do with it? This informative and hands on workshop will teach you how to confidently use one of the most versatile tools for sewing, quilting, and bag making.
Learn what a walking foot does, when to use it, and how it can help feed multiple layers evenly to improve accuracy and reduce shifting. Students will have the opportunity to practice techniques and leave with a better understanding of how to get the most from this often-underused sewing machine accessory.
Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to build confidence and improve sewing results. Bring your machine, walking foot, and your questions!
Skills covered:
- Installing and adjusting a walking foot
- Understanding when to use a walking foot
- Straight-line quilting techniques
- Sewing multiple layers with improved accuracy
