Thank you for the update MaudeFlanagan - glad all is working so well with the generic walking foot!
Lots2do - I think you will like the Juki TL series machines. The TL2200qvp mini was $100 more than the TL2010 but it came with several extra feet that would cost much more than the difference in price. I couldnt he happier with my Juki after many, many hours working on quilts, totes & duffel bags with ultra firm Peltex, batting, fabric and zippers! This machine is definitely a solid workhorse.
