Well I didn't know you weren't suppose to go in reverse with the walking foot.. Maybe that's why I've gone through 2 of them. I had the same problem...worked fine, then only worked for a bit and would stop again, then quit completely. The regular stitch foot worked fine. I'm waiting on $$$$ to buy my third walking foot. The 2nd. one didn't last any time at all. Thanks for the information, LindaR.
