I just spoke with the dealer, and found out that this machine is a low-shank machine for purposes of a walking foot, but most other feet are the snap-on type. He does have a walking foot there, as well as a gatherer and a ruffler (Most men do try to be helpful. The key word here is "try". I don't recall seeing alot of ruffles or gathers on most quilts).
He also mentioned a shearing foot, but didn't seem to know what it was used for other than "shearing." (sigh) I'm quite sure that this is not a foot for shearing sheep . . . does anyone out there know what that is?
