quiltnut4ever, so you have a walking foot that has a 1/4 guide blade on it? Do you use that for quilting or piecing?

I found my walking foot didn't work very well when I did some quilting this past summer. Again, I ended up switching to my small Janome because the walking foot works very well on that machine. My problem was the stitches were either too tight together or too far apart (I was doing a zig-zag stitch on a quilt and you go quilt, doing the sashing). Apparently, I was pushing the fabric through too quickly or the quilt had too much drag on it and went through the needle too slowly. On my Janome, I didn't have any of these problems and the stitches were very even and consistent. I would love to try a better walking foot on my Babylock as it has such a large nice work area.

My dealers have been very unhelpful. If you have a part number or exact name I can look it up online I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
