Walkin and Rollin Feet - Even Feed Accessories Make Your Sewing Easier, And More Efficient!

Brother Ambassador

As a Brother Ambassador, I enjoy helping sewing enthusiasts make the most of their machines and the available accessories that come pre-packed with the machine or are found as optional accessories. If one of these accessories interest you, I suggest checking with your local sewing machine shop to see what's available for your make and model.

We answered lots of questions during the show, and I welcome any additional questions in the comment section at the end of this post.

Below, I'd like to provide links to a few extra resources to compliment information presented on the show.

What's this?!? A Newfangled Walking Foot!
SA101 - The Brother Dynamic Walking Foot

Designed for computerized machines with a 7mm throat plate opening, you'll learn more about what makes this foot special during the show. One big advantage is the ability to sew decorative patterns with this foot. Standard walking feet were only designed to sew forward with a straight stitch or a normal zig zag. Check the manual included with this foot and you'll see decorative patterns recommended for use with this foot. 

You'll find a link to the actual manual that comes with the foot below:

​This manual shows how to attach this low shank foot to a high shank Brother machine, using the "S" adapter. Learn more about this adapter HERE in a previous Brother Stitching Sewcial blog post.

Next up, the Digital Dual Feed Foot

The Digital Dual Feed Foot, also known as the Brother MuVit Foot, was included in the tutorial. Below, you'll find a video showing basic set-up for this attachment from the Brother Support Sewing YouTube channel.

This foot has several accessory options that snap on, including a couching attachment for embellishment with cording and yarns, an open toe sole, and 1/4-inch sole with guide, and a Stitch-in-the-Ditch sole. You'll also find quilt guides that attach to the foot.

Since this accessory plugs into the machine, it is adjustable using the setting mode. In addition, connection to the machine means  you simply can't choose a stitch that is incorrect. It's adjustability and constant contact with the fabric also makes it very special. There's a lot to learn about this very unique attachment. I invite you to explore the links below to learn more.
