For $150, you can almost buy a nice little Brother machine with a walking foot, darning foot, lots of accessory feet, 60 stitches and hard plastic carrying case! You need a secondary machine, anyway, right? ;)
I have noticed that also. I would buy an older Singer and get a 25.00 walking and then you can do great FMQ with it also. You could buy a the machine and walking foot for what they are asking for the walking foot. Does it do a better job then any other machine with a walking foot???
