I've had one for quite a while and probably never used it until Sunday. I've used my walking foot extensively in the past. Sunday I was in the process of placing a binding. I reached the point of hand catching the binding to the back of the quilt---and realy did not want to go that route---was really tired, wanted to get it done fast and knew it would have very hard use, many washings. The upshot of doing this? I LOVED USING IT AND THE RESULTS FOR THIS PURPOSE! :-)
