Sorry you haven't gotten any help. As I understand, I am limited to a straight stitch when I have my walking foot on. No reverse either. I wouldn't risk it until I knew for sure.
Good luck, sorry I couldn't be more help.

I don't have the same machine that you have, but I just checked the manual for my Brother Innovis 4000 and it says I can use straight or zigzag stitches with my walking foot. As Dorothy mentioned, do not try to do any reverse stitching.

I have a Viking and can do any stitches that do not go in reverse. Serpentine (wavy) is one of my favorites. I hear that the new Viking walking foot will work in reverse. I haven't tried it yet because it's over $100.

i sometimes do a long wavy stitch with my walking foot. i just move the quilt to the right and then to the left as i'm stitching. it's easier than stitching "in the ditch" and looks good too.
