I use my walking foot with the wide slot for decorative stitches all the time. I also bought the walking foot that Sue Hausmann uses on her program, but it has a hole in the center rather than the slot, also got the snap one attachments that go with it, one is stitch in the ditch and the other one is 1/4" side bar. It works fine but when I use it I sure do miss the wide slot. I can adjust my needle with that one.
