For those of you who use the Bernina walking foot, there is a new interchangeable sole. Your walking foot already has two, one for straight stitching and one open-toed. This one has a guide underneath it and is for stitch-in-the ditch sewing. It's expensive, $39, but I think I will be using this sole more than the other two when I remember all the borders and straight seams I have stitched in the ditch. Haven't used mine yet but am looking forward to trying it.

I just went to a Sewing Celebration at my LQS yesterday and they were demonstrating this. It is GREAT! They are backordered but I have mine on order and she was giving 20% off for the class day!! WooHoo!! :lol:

Viking has a walking foot with interchangeable plates. Don't know if Bernina's is the same. The thing I like about the SID foot, is it is very easy to keep in the ditch. the thing i HATE is that it has a single small needle hole. Great for even SIDing, but if you are trying to follow a seam and do a turn, or even stop your SID when you get to the border, it is really really hard to see when to stop. If I have a quilt where the SID can run off the end, I use it. If I have to stop or pivit, I use the regular one. Just something to be aware of.
