Sewing With Faux Leather

I am sewing two new faux leather bags.
While on Internet I read that you need a special foot to sew this material (a non-stick foot, teflon foot – there are different names for different brands), I stitch perfectly with my walking foot.

On my Pfaff (Select), this foot is integrated, it’s not a separate attachment. I use it to piece everything, not only for quilting. And I LOVE it! 

This machine is already 13 years old (and it was intensively used)!  It just needed a small repair and it stitches now better than ever.

I noticed how beautifully the foot glides onto the faux leather, much easier than before the repair. So if you want to try sewing with faux leather, make sure your machine is in good shape.  And try the walking foot.
