I put on my new walking foot, but the needle is hitting the back plate of the walking foot. I tried adjusting the needle, but that only goes sideways and it seems like the needle is hitting in the back a little bit. Do you know how I can fix that I've changed the needle. I put the walking foot on twice, and it's still hitting the back of the foot. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
I got this style of walking foot with my machine, but it did not have the Singer name in it, and there is not a slot for the gauge to fit through on the back. Further, the arm does not always work but stays in the up position, so using this is no better than using one of the other feet that came with the machine. I have picked up a walking foot that is the other style, has the hole for the gauge, and is a Singer brand, and hope it works as it should.
Can you reverse stitch/ lock stitch with this foot? Thank you for all the great information! I'm watching all of your videos on this machine, as I've just bought one. I'm really excited, and grateful for all of your handy and informative videos!
I saw a video that said to lower the feed dogs & set the stitch length to 0. I see an old question here about the feed dogs & someone said to leave them up. Aww rats, now I don't know & I really want to try out the new walking foot! Yes Google is my friend... who spies on me & gives me differing answers. EDIT-I think I broke it cos I didn't know I'm not meant to backstitch. Oh well it worked well for half an hour.
I have completely cleaned, changed needle, made sure thread is the same top and bottom, Why won’t my sandwich feed even? Top, batting and backing all different feeding? Help?☹️
She's using a Singer Heavy Duty--model 4452 (the model number is in the video title). This is a domestic machine. The walking foot is one of the included accessories--you can see her "unboxing" video for the other accessories.
The walking foot that comes with this machine is useless. The arm sticks a lot. You need to buy the kind that hugs the screw instead of sitting above it. Ruined a quilt with this.
Same. I specially ordered it. The arm just resting on the screw slams it up and sticks. My interim fix is I tied a loop around the arm and the screw if rests on 😂
This was the exact information that I was looking for! Thank you for the thoroughness of your explanation!
I watched the entire series on the 4452 HD. Thank you. Very easy to follow> Thank you so muck..
Thank you ! Very helpful ! I bought a even/ walking foot and wasn’t sure if I attached it right with that leaver up. Great video!
Had no idea why my stitches were loopy with this foot. Turns out, if you put the foot down like you are supposed to, it works great! 😂
THANK GOD FOR YOU!! THIS WAS SOOOO SOOO HELPFUL!
Great tutorial. I was able to easily use the walking foot that came with my Singer 4452.
Oh my Gosh. I Love This video. You just made me a Happy Girl ;) Thank You Thank You!!!!
omg thank you for explaining the white arm needs to be raised!
Brilliant explanation. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much!
Didn't know what I have is heavy duty! 👍 But no instructed. Anywhere.. How to install this wonderful foot! Ty
Thank you for this. I had no idea how or what the walking foot was for. Would you say it would be beneficial to use on stretch knit fabrics then ?
I believe it works great for stretch knit fabrics
Also, what is the lever on the left side behind the needle threader that says " push" for?
Part of the button hole procedure. Check out her video on that.
Love your videos. Thanks this really helps.
thank you for this video...I just changed my foot.

I think you can because she said you can go forwards and backwards
Yes you can. I literally just did it at the start and end of the seam. Tested out my feet today also the cutter foot. Very happy so far
The arm of the foot resting on the needle screw loosens the needle and it continuously breaks needles.

Do you have to lower the feed dogs when using the walking foot?
No, leave those puppies up!

Can a walking foot be used on and 1920s Singer machine?
usually not...sorry
I got a singer HD 3680 and my machine didn't come with a walking foot. If I was to go out and buy one.... What would I look for? In shank size
I'm pretty sure there's just 1 singer one
The machine she's demonstrating--the Heavy Duty 4452--has a "low shank."
What sewing machine do you use? Is it heavy duty singer? Or industrial machine?

Happened to me too!
I've had no problems with it.

Maybe user error😮
@@smcewen7 nope. It’s a recurring, common and known problem. 😮
why not always use a "walking foot"
😊
Ive got one
You didn't show what position the other arm over the needle has to go. This video is a 3/5.
Do a better one yourself.
Great info but that voice is soooo annoying.
