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.
I have a Bernina 155 and my walking foot came bundled with my machine. I love mine and use it all the time for binding. I have also used it for straight line quilting (Bow Tuck Bag, for example). I know it is expensive for the Bernina, but it does make a difference. I've read here on the board that some ladies use the walking foot for all their sewing and never take it off the machine.
