Just came from first machine quilting class, instructor never uses walking foot, period. Says it puckers up the fabric.

What says the Board?

I definitely use one. In fact, I think I'm going to get a 1/4" one, also. I think it would help on bindings and I have a hard time keeping the 1/4" seam using the walking foot I have.

Yes on my Elna, no on my Singer 301. It just doesn't need one.

No, I don't use one. Just seems too slow & my machine seems to do fine without it.

I love the walking foot on my Janome 6600p. Never any puckers.

Use one all the time on my Bernina 1030. Works great. Don't know what I'd do without it !

Don't use one - don't own one. My machine (Viking Platinum) does just fine without it. Binding; the odd occassion I do machine quilting, etc. Never had a problem.
