My walking foot is pretty big with wide presser feet and the view is really obstructed when trying to sew close to the edge of the binding on the front.
Never use a walking foot for bindings. I grip the area I am sewing, pulling it taut, behind the needle and in front of the needle, then let the machine feed it through. I also starch my binding when I am folding it in half before sewing. That may be clear as mud but don't know how else to explain it.
