I honestly thought a decimal point had been misplaced!

It would be cool to have this one since it's black and would match the machine but not for that price! It ended but did it sell? wow...

ETA: I just looked and it did sell at $385. must be a great foot... or someone just wanted all the authentic parts..

You can - I got a low shank walking foot on ebay for $25 and it works well on my Featherweights

Here is another one...even higher price...does include free shipping though...guess I won't be getting one for my machine unless I happen upon one at a rummage sale sometime at a steal of a price.

The "Penguins" are rare...and yep...this one was a bargin. I've seen them sell for $500 to $600....if I had that kind of money to spend, this one would have sold higher.

Lesley, what brand is the walking foot you got?

one of the ladies had posted a site where they wanted $595.00 US money. Yes you read it right. I guess if we ever find one in an old lady's stuff when she dies we better insure it.
