I love the Accufeed feature on my Janome 7700. You have to change out the foot to put a bigger foot on it and lower the other half of the mechanism from behind the presser foot. In my opinion the Accufeed foot works better than a walking foot because its so sturdy. I do all straight line quilting (I love cross hatch) and I use the Accufeed foot for all of that quilting and I also use it to attach binding. I don't have any problem with my binding and quilt slipping around when I use that foot to sew my binding on. I didn't know what this feature was when I bought the machine, but I use it a lot and I'm glad I have it.
