So in a last ditch hail mary play to save my quilt, I pulled off the walking foot and put the regular every day standard presser foot on. It worked beautifully. Everything fed perfectly even. Pretty, consistent stitches and it went about 4 times faster. Now half my quilt looks perfect, and the half done with the walking foot looks like what a baboon might do if you fed him a bottle of jack daniels and put in front of a sewing machine.
LOL!!! It sounds like either the foot is broken or you don't have it on right. Since there are plenty of helpful posts about how to put the thing on the machine my guess would be it's broken. Take the Jack away from the baboon and have a couple of slugs and go buy a new walking foot. Or a whole new machine. The Janome 6600 or 7700 both have a built in walking foot system that works beautifully.
