Dealer just called back- it's the wrong foot.
They don't have a new one in stock ("classic", which is really confusing term for "new" )so they ordered me one. Thanks all for the troubleshooting. Those who guessed old style foot were right! I'm annoyed since I specifically asked that it would work for my machine, but happy to know it wasn't me! |

Finally flip the lever down to lock the foot in place.

Well, now I see the resolution. Glad to know you got it worked out. I bought a walking foot when I bought my machine and could not get the darn thing on at all. Turns out it was the wrong foot.

The nice news: dealer said they don't care if I don't have a receipt. They keep sales records of anyone who has bought their machine there.
The reciept thing was what was really stressing me out! |
DEFINITELY visit your dealer. I have the 440QE and my walking foot works like a charm. It took some practice putting it in place, but it's easy for me now. My arm goes over the bar is also silver. Don't be frustrated anymore. Take a trip to the dealer to show them what it does.

WHOOPS! Guess I should have read through to page 5, but was feeling so sorry for you had to jump in. Glad the problem is solved.
|
I KNEW it had to be the wrong foot somehow, since it's really not that difficult to install. Glad they aren't going to give you any hassle about return/exchange, but who is going to refund your time, energy, and sanity?!

Read the manual. It will show you how to attach it.
|
I am soo glad you are getting the correct foot now.
|
Glad to hear you got this worked out! Once you get the right foot, you'll love it.
