You pay for the walking foot if included. Nothing is free. Buying one to fit the machine you want is no big deal.

thats the machine I use. Bought it at Costco (warehouse not online) and I just saw it this week while I was there it's on sale for $139! Comes with lots of accessories including the walking foot.

Im new to quilting and this is the first sewing machine I've ever owned. I like it.

The Brother PQ1500S has a walking foot. Just needs to be bought seperately Another feature is the presure foot presure is adjustable, so when working on a quilt sandwich which is thick it can be made looser so as not to push to top fabric. With the walking foot the dial is set to the far right.

Rather than use a big clunky walking foot, I prefer a machine with a built in walking foot, like a Pfaff, Babylock, or Janome. Understand every machine made with these names doesn't have a built in walking foot, but most of the Pfaff machines have it. The Pfaff walking foot fits in a groove underneath most of the feet, so it can be used with most of the specialty feet as well as a straight stitch foot. It's always there, attached, so it can't be lost, and is completely unobtrusive when sewing. It's called the IDT on the Pfaff---it has other names with the other brands. I love it and won't sew without one now. It has completely spoiled me, lol.

If you are looking for a machine with a large harp I would not suggest the Janome Magnolia. I have the 7330 model & the harp is only about 6 1/2" which is not much space for quilting a large quilt. I love my Magnolia but wish it had a larger harp area. However, that being said, Janome could have come out with a newer Magnolia that has a larger harp that I'm not aware of.

You are right Patrice. I have a “Wally World” low end model that has 35 stitches, has a walking foot available or sometimes included. I bought my walking foot for not much. Total-less than $150.

See if you can find a good 401A Singer. They are mid 1950's and solid as a rock. They have a bunch of stitches, button hold attachment, cams for even more stitches, a walking foot and do very nice FMQ even though the feed dogs don't drop. I love vintage and have never been let down by them. They rarely break. You can a lot for a machine, but I like metal.

My Eversewn Sparrow 30 was delivered on Thursday. Really nice machine. I have two previous walking feet and both fit on the Sparrow as does the other sole plates. In the manual it specifically said though only use a walking foot when nothing else will work for you. For that reason, will use my other machine when its time to do bindings. The Sparrow's harp is only 6 1/2", like most other standard machines.
