When you get your walking foot be sure to one with the stitch in the ditch plate.

I use my walking foot, open toe foot and my embroidery foot the most. Sorry, do not have the numbers of the feet since they are packed in boxes at the time.

OK, have had my walking foot for a while now, but wanted to know what you meant by the the stitch in the ditch plate? Could you elaborate a little on this one. I can not go and look at mine right now, it is packed in a box since we are moving next week. Thanks.

I should state that I do have two different plates. Just never used the other and am thinking that I am missing a great use for them.

I got my husband to cut out the front part of my plastic FM quilting foot so I can see what I am doing. I didn't tell him the price to replace the foot until after he was done but he did a perfect job.

My top two are the walking foot and the quarter inch foot with guide. I can't sew without those two. Also like the edge stitch food for SID.

I use the #20 almost exclusively for anything but actual quilting. With the needle one click to the right it gives a perfect scant ¼" seam, the fabric is grabbed by both feed dogs (unlike the 37 and 57) so it feeds accurately right to the end, and the open toe makes it very easy to see exactly where I am going. For quilting, I use the walking foot and the #24 open toe metal quilting foot (I hate plastic feet).

ghostrider.....great info! And i have the #20.....love your tip about moving the needle and getting that all-elusive scant 1/4" seam! I am confused about the FMQ foot.....my old bernina has a metal open-toe "bounce" foot that I used.....not sure which one is the proper one for the new machine. I have a lot of feet for my old 930, and of course, they have a different shank, so I have to start collecting all over again. I think the #10 is also on my list....

Don't buy the 1/4" with the side. It isn't a true 1/4". It's way larger. I found out the hard way. I use the clear foot that is open in the front and the 1/4" foot mostly. I have a bunch that I don't think I'll ever use. They have some nice ones. One for cutting out the fabric and then you place a different color fabric behind it. Love it!!!!

It sounds like you are describing the #24 Freehand embroidery foot. It is a metal open-toe bounce foot. Go here for picture:

I prefer to use this for actual FMQ as it has much better visibility than the #29 clear plastic freehand quilting foot pictured here:

I use #57 the most. It is the 1/4 inch foot with the quide (same as #37 except with the guide). The guide has helped me a lot and I thought it was worth the money.
