What is this monstrosity on my sewing machine? It's my new walking foot! Whenever I attach bindings to my quilts, I have a lot of trouble with tucks and puckers. I've tried it with and without pins, but I'm never able to get it all even. I did some research and learned that this little doohickey may solve my problems! It's supposed to help thick materials or layers of materials feed more evenly through the sewing machine.
It worked great on my six inch sample quilt. Obviously the real test is on a real quilt, but we will have to wait a while for that. In addition to attaching binding, I can also use it to quilt straight lines on large-ish quilts! I am very, very fond of hand-quilting, but I don't deny that it will be nice to have a faster option for certain projects.
