Nice video. This would have been a huge help to me back when I was first figuring it out!

wow thank you! never thought to look on youtube which is odd because that's where I usually go first!

It is not just walking feet, there are so many other feet that make sewing different techniques much easier too. I probably have 10 different feet that I didn't know I could do without, until I tried different techniques LOL

I would rather purchase a walking foot, than spend an extra $1000 to get one that is built in :D

What have all of my quilting sisters been using if you quilt on your machine???? Surely not every quilt is sent to the LAQ.
I started quilting in 2003 and have owned a walking foot since before I had to quilt my first quilt. I have to admit I was surprised when I first got on this board when people were saying that they'd just bought a walking foot and wondered why they hadn't bought one long ago.
I realize they are expensive but they are an essential tool for quilting.

~ I just machine quilted my first wall hanging and even though I just SID, the back looks terrible. I pin basted it but the back fabric still shifted and now there is diaganol drag patterns. I have to get one of these walking feet before I do my next!! ~

For years there was only one brand of machine that had a 'walking foot' built in and that was Pfaff. They called it the 'IDT'. They had the patent on it so no other machine company could use it. Since Pfaff was sold some years ago it has spread. Now there are 2 or 3 machines that have this technology. I can never remember which ones, but I believe Janome is one.

It works so well for quilting that we sometimes forget that it is indispensable for many home dec projects such as hemming curtains. Works great on non-cotton decorator fabrics and clothing fabrics.
