My Pfaff has a built in even feed (walking foot). I use it almost constantly and love that the layers of fabric feed evenly from top and bottom.
|
The walking foot, or integrated dual feed (IDT), is built in on my Pfaff. With few exceptions (it doesn't work with some feet) I use it every time I sew two pieces of fabric together. Just finished toddler dresses and used the IDT for everything except the zippers.

Bernina's accessories are expensive. I have a 210 and my walking foot cost about $150. It was worth it though.

I had a Pfaff with the IDT. When I decided I needed, really needed a new machine I bought the Janome 6600 bc it also has the IDT. I use it for almost everything. Who gave the tip about using is for hemming jeans? Thanks I'll be sure to try that as hemming jeans are a pain in the ..................

I use the walking foot on anything that has multiple layers. It works especially well with seams for the 8 pointed star.

I have a Bernina Activa 135 sewing machine that I love, it seems to me that their walking feet are over $100.00 and I am just not willing to invest that much without knowing if it will help.

I paid $80 for my walking foot for my Janome. But was determined to get one and I love it! It's probably the only reason I would buy another Janome...I already have the walking foot for it. And I probably shouldn't say that. It's the dealer I wouldn't buy from again. If I had to do it over, I'd probably go with Babylok as the dealer is 8 miles from me. But it's at a LQS and they just sell them.

I bought a generic walking foot (I have two short shank machines so it's interchangeable). Cost me AUD 29.00 including postage and I wouldn't be without it. Binding is a breeze and even the trickiest fabric goes through nicely. Definitely one of my most worthwhile purchases.

I think of my Brother walking foot as a dog's set of teeth pulling the fabric. Arf. Arf. Chomp. Chomp.
OK, I have way too much fun sewing. |
