I haven't done much more than piecing and paper piecing (that's why I liked the thread cutter). If I get it done soon, I'll be using the walking foot to quilt a baby blanket and I'll let you know if I run into any problems. But even my Viking has had trouble with bulky fabric i.e. jeans, so I use the little tool (jeanamajig) you can get that boosts up the back of the foot and haven't had many issues as long as I use that. One other thing about the Sparrow, if my research was correct, Eversewn is like a cousin brand to the Bernina.

I know Onebyone suggested Amazon, but I would still recommend you buy local since many not only offer training if you want it but some offer free service (I got 2 years on mine, no extra charge) and it was the same price as Amazon. Besides we need to do what we can to keep the LQS's in business...sorry I'll jump off my soapbox!
