You should not use the Walking foot for zig zag, unless you

..I've used my vintage Singer even feed foot, on a 401, many,
many times with zig zag & other fancy stitches over the past
four years, with no problem at all. The even feed foot is still
going strong....

Just want to chime in with a "me too!" I love the walking foot for my
401A, and hardly ever take it off...except for zippers.
