Using the Even Feed Foot  
to Sew Multiple Fabric Layers
 
 
The Even Feed Foot has its own set of feed dogs that work in conjunction with 
the machine’s feeding system to improve the flow of the fabric.  This is particu-
larly important when sewing several layers of fabric, such as in quilting.  The 
Even Feed Foot “pulls” the top layer or layers of fabric through at the same 
speed as the machine’s feed dogs are pulling the bottom layer or layers of fab-
ric, making for more even feeding!
