I hate to disagree with you but, the IDT is the walking foot. You can use any foot with it that you want to. With the walking foot you can only use the regular foot to quilt!

No, the dual feed foot is different than the walking foot at least for my 830 it is. That's really odd about a walking foot not being available. I love my dual feed feet, but the walking foot makes my quilting much better.
Do you have a Bernina by any chance? It is very different from a Pfaff in this instant. Pfaff has a built in walking foot that is called IDT. We do not need a separate attachment. I think there may be some terminology confusion here.
