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!
Congratulations Randa! Now tell us what you are going to sew with a walking foot on the FW? I am so glad you figured out how to use the thing. I have a Pfaff 1222e with a built in walking foot and my Betty (Davis Vertical Feed) that walks the fabric so I don't need to use a walking foot on the FW, but I am curious as to what you are going to sew using the FW walking foot - and how you like using it?
