With a walking foot you leave the feed dogs up. The purpose of the walking foot that both the top and bottom fabrics are now guided into the machine at an even rate. I've heard that generic feet don't last as long as the ones made for your machine but I'm sure as with everything that's not a hard fast rule. Good luck with your project. I really like Leah's site.
