With the walking foot, what happens if you are doing something that requires a special foot, such as inserting a zipper? Does it mean you can only use the walking foot for straight or stitches that only need a zig-zag foot? So if I was attaching a decorative cord that requires a couching foot, I couldn't use the walking foot as well? I sometimes make curtains, as well as cushions, quilts, dressmaking & want to get into machine embroidery too, so this is a relevant issue for me.
That's why I prefer the Pfaff. The IDT works with any foot. I think some of the new models of other machines now have their version of the IDT. I know Elna does, and I'm pretty sure the Viking does.
