Linda - where did you get your walking foot for the featherweight? I want to get one but don't know enough to determine which one to get.
I purchased it from April 1930's - guaranteed to fit a FW. I had tried a generic one, but after a few stitches I noticed it was SCRATCHING my FW!!!!!!!!!! Then, when I tried to get it off, the screw had tightened so much that I couldn't budge it. Even my DH had a terrible time getting it off! The one from April 1930's works great! She is great to deal with!

Right now they are $28.95 with free shipping - go to quilting attachments and scroll down. I think the price is good - I paid $85.00 for my Viking walking foot... (no one ever said I was intelligent...)
