the walking foot is (for me) essential for straight stitching on quilts...stitch in ditch and very gentle curves and any other straight line stitching. For free motion quilting, get a darning or quilting foot (different names are used...drop your feed dogs and move your quilt around for FMQ.

I love my walking foot. I use it for everything.

I have the walking foot for my grand quilter. It does a better job with it I think.

A walking foot is a great investment. I think you would be pleased to, once you own and use one :D:D:D

I have done it both ways, with and without a walking foot. I have a Viking D1 and the Walking Foot was an investment for me, but when I finally decided to "bite the bullet" so to speak, and purchase it, I was soooo happy. No more bunching backing for me!
