Excuse me for jumping in, but in case Bearisgray didn't get back to the thread, I wanted you to have your answer.
No..the walking foot is NOT the same as your regular foot. A walking foot has feed dogs as a part of the foot...it walks the fabric through from the top along with the feed dogs walking the fabric through on the bottom. Essentially it keeps the fabrics going the same speed without pulling so it stays smooth and unpuckered. It is fantastic for quilting straight lines!! I don't know your brand of machine and they can vary greatly in price..so you'll have to check out the details for your own type.
