I have an old Bernina and priced the walking foot. It was $147. Last night as my husband was helping me put a quilt on to hand quilt he asked me if I couldn't do it on the machine. I told him about the walking foot and he said go buy it. After reading this thread I think he must have had a great idea. Does anyone else use and old Bernina 730 that has a walking foot? I bought it in 1966.
