Well it was just as I figured. My walking foot for my older machine is not compatible with my new one. Darn - this means I have to go buy one because my older machine is very tempermental (spelling?) plus I need to get the potholders done for the quilt guild. I think I am going to go where I bought the machine. The lady there was so nice about making sure my darning foot worked on my machine. A walking foot is pretty much a necessity , right? I am trying to justify spending the money for one :D
