You don't need a walking foot if your machine has dual feed ... A "walking foot" is a separate attachment, made for the older machines that DON'T have the built-in dual feed feature.
** I just read back, didn't realize that a Bernina would need BOTH ?? I have the Janome 6600 and a Pfaff with IDT, the built-in dual feed for both handles everything, from piecing to mq to bindings.
For the money spent, a new Bernina should NOT need another expensive and clunky walking foot !! makes no sense, except for Bernina sales $$ of course !!
