I have a Bernina Activa 135 sewing machine that I love, it seems to me that their walking feet are over $100.00 and I am just not willing to invest that much without knowing if it will help.
www.sewingpartsonline.com has just about anything you could ever think of for sewing machines. I just ordered a new set screw for my Pfaff and ten extra bobbins, very good prices and shipping is very reasonable. Also sewingmachinesplus.com is another very good site. Both of these sites are secure. I would not pay over $50 for a walking foot and that is on the high side. A walking foot for my Pfaff was $24.99 on sewingpartsonline.com. Hope this helps.
I am very happy I bought the walking foot. It is great for quilting. I also just repaired our American flag and as it is polyester and slippery, the walking foot grabbed it top and bottom and pulled it through just great. Another member just recommended using it for putting on the binding and I can't wait to try that. I have learned more on this Board in two months than I've learned in the last ten years.
