1. Powerful Motor A machine with a stronger motor is essential for sewing heavy fabrics. A motor with at least 1.0 amp power rating is generally recommended for working with materials like canvas.

At the heart of the walking foot zigzag sewing machine is the walking foot attachment. Unlike a standard presser foot, the walking foot features a unique mechanism that grips the fabric from the top, allowing it to move in sync with the feed dogs below. This coordinated movement is especially beneficial when working with multiple layers of fabric or tricky materials like knits and silks. The walking foot ensures that all layers are fed evenly through the machine, preventing shifting and puckering—common issues that can arise with conventional sewing feet.

Moreover, many of these machines come equipped with features like adjustable presser foot pressure and feed dogs that improve fabric handling and prevent puckering. Such features make it easier to work with different materials and enhance the overall stitching quality.
