I Have husqvarna machines . I have the walking foot attachments and I have no problems using them. You cannot use the attache needle threader when you have it on but that is not really a problem and if it was I would simnply thread my machine prior to putting on the walking foot. The new diamond has 2 interchangeable feet.

I love the idt because you can use the 1/4" foot with it for putting binding on. As long as the foot has an opening at the back to accomodate the idt lever, you can use any foot with it. If you use the info feature,the lcd display tells you what foot to use and whether you can use idt with a particular stitch.
I use the idt all the time even when piecing.

Great feature and I am another lover of it!

Yes, but the neat thing about the Pfaff is that it has the IDT built in. You don't need to change feet. If you are using any of your feet you have IDT. I have sewn pants and never pin anymore, cause I never have more than an 1/8" difference when I get the seam sewn. It was originally designed to match plaids, but then they found out it works great for almost everything. I also like the 9 mm stitches on the Pfaff. Couldn't live or sew without my Pfaff!

For the most part I love my Pfaff but it will most certainly not sew over thick seams like the denim in this video. Sometimes it struggles over "normal" seams.
