I have a Bernina 930 sewing machine. At a quilting class yesterday, I had my first introduction to a walking foot. The instructor said that the Bernina walking foot is great, but that a universal walking foot will work as well.
Does anyone have a suggestion on which might be better or where I might find one at a reasonable price? |
Have you checked Ebay?? I bought a darning foot for FMQ for my Bernina for 20.00

I have a Bernina walking foot; got it at the same store I bought my machine. It is great for SITD....made it much less frustrating for me. I would recommend it. It was expensive, though. Ebay sounds like a good idea. Good luck.

Buy the one specific for youe machine even if it costs more.
Not all generic feet work. This is based on class experience. |
I am not sure what she meant by an Universal foot. Bernina will not accept feet that fit any other machine. Even older Bernina feet are different than the newer ones. What I would call a universal foot may be a low shank, and it doesn't fit Bernina. I would be very interested to know if anyone has a cheaper foot that fit my Barbie.

My walking foot came with the package deal for my Bernina but the dealer wanted lots for the the extra feet I wanted. Went to ebay for additional feet at more reasonable price. I would agree to get a Bernina foot that matches you machine. I use my WF for sewing on the binding also.

I had a generic ruffle foot that I wanted to use on my 440 and it works beautifully with the adapter! I think there are two, #75 and #77, one is slightly longer than the other.

Some walking feet don't have the teeth on the bottom so be careful with the universal ones.....don't be sorry get a bernina foot..
