OH MY GOSH!! Thank you so much for the useful information. My walking foot is more like the picture in link 2 Aggi. I was planning to do a stitch in the ditch and prefer hand quilting but am trying to be realistic. I have projects lining up and know I'm so slow at hand quilting. Now that I know what it's really for, I wish I'd have tried it out on my minkee projects---sounds like it would have made life easier. I'll putz around with it a bit before I try it on a quilt....don't want to ruin ll this hard work, you know.
Thank you!
