That is correct! In my experience, it doesn’t matter much as to which layer you spray directly. Some people may have personal preferences to spray either the fabric or the batting but I don’t believe there’s a right or wrong way to go about it 🙂

Thank you for the reply and clarity.

Love my walking foot. Love my Brenina’s Ardiss Kunze

Thanks for the fantastic idea of using the wave stitch rather than the running stitch I have been doing with walking foot. 🙂

I have just finished my first quilt top and I will be trying to quilt it. Thanks for showing me this!

You wrote (i.e. my quilt features 8” finished blocks so I will repeat stitching rows every 8” across the quilt) but your rows appear maybe 2” apart or closer?
-
It’s true! So each time I make adjustments to the stitch width or length, I will sew a row every 8″ (or stitch one pass per row of blocks) so they’re evenly spaced, and then start over with a new adjusted stitch. With enough passes across the quilt, rows of stitching are eventually about every 1-2″. I learned this way of working across a quilt from BERNINA Ambassador Christa Watson and she gets a little bit more detailed in her book “Machine Quilting With Style”– I highly recommend it!

Is there a limit to the stitch width that can be used with the walking foot?
-
There is! The BERNINA walking foot is limited to a 5.5 mm stitch width.

After twenty years of failed attempts at free motion quilting, I gave up, and use only the walking foot now. This idea for the serpentine (#4 wave pattern) stitch is amazing. I just quilted a quilt using the above technique using variegated thread and it looks fabulous! On a second quilt, I used a longer serpentine down the wider rows and a much shorter version in the narrow sashing. Again, the result was a knockout. My quilt group agreed. Thanks ever so much and keep those new walking foot ideas coming.

Oh this just made my day!! I’m so glad you found success with this method. Quilting with the walking foot is also much more my speed than free motion. We will definitely be working on more tips and tricks for fellow walking foot quilters!
Two books that have helped me overcome my quilting anxieties are Walk by Jacquie Gehring and Machine Quilting With Style by Christa Watson– both ladies are BERNINA Ambassadors with just loads of knowledge and these books are chock full of walking foot insight 🙂

Hi Hayley I would love to give this a try. One question is that I noticed no markings on the quilt. How do you keep those wavy lines evenly spaced? Thanks

Thank you for the info! Question: I have a Bernette b77. Is there a walking foot for that model?

Good, basic post. Thank you. One question: When spray basting, does it matter which layer you spray? For example, it looks like in the first layer you sprayed the backing fabric and second layer you sprayed the batting. Is this correct?
