Thank you, that's great info. I might go ahead and order the walking foot and keep my fingers crossed. Do you have any info on the 'open' foot? The foot I'd use for free motion quilting?

The slant walking foot sold for the 301 has been modified so it fits, but the legs on the foot do not match the feed dogs on the machine(like a walking foot is supposed to fit) so it works okay for some people and doesn't for others.
