A walking foot has feed dogs on the top of the foot so it works with the feed dogs underneath and pulls the quilt sandwich through evenly. At least that is what it is suppose to do and so far it is working for me as advertised. I tried without the walking foot and had to rip out the seams because it was puckered all over the reverse side and the sandwich shifted. I though I had spent money for something I didn't really need, but I'm glad I did as it is working as advertised. I just need more practice with it to get to a point where I can do more than straight seams and stiitching in the ditch.
