SITD goes so much faster and more accurate, as well. Advantages of both feet in one. It is labeled a Ditch Quilting Guide and Adjustable Quilting Guide so there are 2 attachments in the one package. I've not used the second attachment. I might mention, too, that the snap-in part of the housing on the walking foot had broken off mine quite awhile back and they have replacements of that so you don't have to buy an entirely new walking foot. (I have not tried it but the dealer told me that this will work on the featherweight machine, too, since both are low shank machines.)
Thank you for this info. I like my sitd foot but really need the walking foot, too. Maybe I don't baste well enough or something. I am going to look for this for my Janome right now.
