Default problem with breaking needles while using my walking foot

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with breaking needles with the walking foot? I used mine for the first time on this quilt and broke 4 needles while using it. I have never broke a needle in this machine before putting the walking foot on. It seems to happen when I get sewing along at a pretty fast clip so I suspect that going fast is the problem. Once I set the speed so I couldn't go fast, I didn't break any more. So is a walking foot not meant to be used at full sewing speed? I really liked how much easier it was to do the binding with it, except for changing the broken needles, LOL.
Any tips would be appreciated. Hugs and smilessss....
