I use the walking foot on my Bernina for what little MQing I do and for applying binding to the front of the quilt. I dread having to use it because it is a pain to install. Have to put the feed dogs down and bring it in from behind at just the right angle. It works like a charm once installed.

My walking foot is the most valuable tool I've ever bought. I use it on anything that is over 2 layers thick.

Your walking foot is really a little miracle. Why have you not used it? My Pfaff came with one attached and it is in use all the time. When you are hemming jeans or any thick fabric, sewing set in sleeves, when you have matched plaids and want them to stay perfect, and the list goes on. Use it.

I could not get along with out it. I use it on layers like Placemats. It is a good investment and sews layers alot better.

I love my walking foot. I use it for everything I can.

I have one and use it for certain things. Always for SID quilting, grid work, putting on binding, pot holders, and any other time when I'm afraid that the regular presser foot will push the top layer of fabric more than I want. That's the whole idea behind walking feet or even feed is that both layers of fabric are fed into the machine at an even rate, thus keeping all the layers the same and not twisting, pushing, or moving the top one in a direction that you don't want it to go. I know that some people use one for piecing, but I personally don't like it for that, I'd rather use my quarter inch foot.

I love my walking foot....didn't realize what a difference it would make until I tried it!!

Yes, they are a blessing. I use mine to quilt in the ditch, and to do my basic stablizing and then my fmq'ing. it feeds your sandwich at an equal rate, top and bottom, it really is a great help. But, I mostly use my fmq foot.

I always use a walking foot to put on my binding...heck, I just leave the walking foot on my Elna Super and only use that machine for binding!

d i t t o ! :D one for every machine!!!!!!

I love my walking foot. Very good investment.

Those of us with Pfaff's use a 1/4 inch foot with their "walking foot". This is one of the reason's I will always own a Pfaff. I haven't sewn on anything that compares to it yet.

I use mine for outline quilting to kind of solidify things before free motion, and I use it to put my binding strips on. Don't think I could get by without it

I wouldn't make a quilt without one. Makes life so much easier.

I just recently started to use one for putting on binding and such. Even for Stitch in the Ditch. What a difference! I was a fool for not using one before now

I have been using my walking foot to sew binding on quilts and wall hanging. Don't like the sound it makes, but do like the results. Much smoother and more even stitching. I did love my Pfaff with the IDT, but my last one spent more time in the shop then me sewing on it. I do wish the other brands would come up with their own IDT. It is worth it's weight in gold.

Love it! I use mine for SID and accent quilting that is not FMQ. I don't, however, use it for sewing on the binding - I tend to sew faster than I think the walking foot can handle when attaching bindings (I HATE bindings and just want to get them done!).

I love mine for adding binding and doing some quilting

I love my walking foot ,it's great for stitch in the ditch any sew were you want things to stay even.

Couldn't get along without the walking foot. Back in '78 I bought a Singer Athena 2000, it had the walking foot attachment. When it died, after two new sets of gears, I bought a Pfaff with the built in feature. Can't imagine sewing without it. You can match plaids, no shifting.

My walking foot is on all the time, I sew everything with it on.

I LOVE my walking foot and wouldn't dream of making a quilt without it! If doing SID quilting it is a must! If you haven't used yours yet, be sure you put it on correctly. The little "forked" part must go on over the screw (at least on my Bernina) and it seems a little awkward the first time you do it. Check on You Tube for a video for your machine. On my machine, if I have not put it on correctly, which happened in the beginning, I'd get tiny little stitches. Good luck and report back to us.

Love walking foot. Would not quilt straight lines without one or piece bias pieces.

I backstitch with mine all the time. All three of them.

I have one for one of my machines ad used it once and it was put back in the box never has seen day light sence.
I use Viking machines and haven't ever had to use it with the sencor foot and being able to adjust both top and bottom tenn. Could of bought a new ruler or more fabric.
A lot of the older machine have to use one so you get even feed so no puckering on the back.

I decided this was a good time to go ahead and make the investment with the 25% off but I don't think I'll making any more investments in equipment for awhile. I believe this was a great investment, I can see I can use this on other sewing projects.

I love mine, too. All of the above, and then some. :D

I just did a twin quilt with flannel, fleece and White and Natural. Would never have finished it without the walking foot I borrowed.

Yep , use it and you will love it !

Get playing girl, you'll never go back. I have a v old Pfaff with IDT and it's brilliant.

I never take my walking foot off (because it is a pain to switch foots). I think it works wonders.

the Walking Foot I purchased via an EBay Business Seller was $17.00 (yes, seventeen dollars and change) with a ten percent discount, about a year ago.

Best foot I ever bought! Use it all the time!

Today will add binding to a king size quilt. Will use the walking foot because of the many positive comments here!
