I wish there would be similar, narrow foot for the 301! But, alas there isn't:<

I purchased a walking foot for the FW 221 from Quiltgal and I couldn't get it to fit. Then I contacted April1930s and we corresponded a bit...she mentioned to me that the thread cutter has to come off. Today I went back to the FW, took the thread cutter off and put the walking foot on with no problem!!! I played a bit and thought it's not going to work cuz the needle hole in the walking foot didn't align exactly with the needle hole in the plate, but I began to sew and it works wonderfully!! So....don't throw the walking foot away...try it again after removing the thread cutter!
