I have now quilted the BEST stitch in the ditch seam I've EVER done! No sweat, no wavering, PERFECT! It cost me $19.95 and I will guarantee you, you won't be sorry!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Sears on-line has generic sewing machine accessories that fit my Viking. But, their walking foot is $25.99 with a quilting bar, a lot less expensive than buying Vikings.
Here's the Sears site if anyone is interested:

I also got my "Stitch in the Ditch" foot
from the Sears on-line store. They are
so much thriftier!! I must confess that
"Quiltintime" gave mine to me, as a gift.
Now, how much lees, can you get one than
that? I just love it too.
:D :D :D :D :D :D

I think it was $19.99 for my Viking but I'd pay double that now that I can see how much more accurate my seams are.

I haven't tried echo quilting yet. Probably would use the walking foot for that. Others will be able to answer that better.
Yes, the foot DOES look like the blind hem foot for Janome! Odd...they have 2 feet the same with two different names!
I actually tried the foot with 2 pieces of fabric and warm and natural inside. Didn't set it with aligned edges to see if it's better than the walking foot. To me, having the straight stitches in the ditch is more important than the walking foot's advantage. I use spray adhesive and LOTS of pins when I do quilting. So -- it's a toss up!!!!
