I recently asked your opinions on using a walking foot. Thank you, thank you for your words of encouragement. I pulled it out of the box, played with it a while and this a.m. I not only put the binding on a quilt, but also did the stitch in the ditch and finished it! Much to my surprise, the corners were perfect and not one pucker anywhere. Why on earth would I ever want to hand bind a quilt again? I have been converted!! Thank you so much!!!!

So for anyone else that has not used their walking foot....please do. What a great way to start the new year with a new quilting idea that I thought I'd never use. I am one happy quilter!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!

we have such wonderful helpers on the site

I'm still waiting for Santa to bring mine...

When I got one for my old machine I was amazed at how well it worked. They sure do help.

I'm glad I got one for my machine about 6 months ago, it sure makes quilting & binding easier! :thumbup: :thumbup:

This was one of the best tips I found here too :D:D:D

This Forum is the best place to learn, isn't it?
Just ask, & everyone is so kind & helpful & all the info is appropriate & useful.
Thanks to all.

DH just had me order one the day after Christmas along with a FMQ foot. They've been shipped and I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival! :-)

Great going.Knew once you tried the walking foot you would truly enjoy it. pab
