Walking foot or the IDT is irreplaceable to me. I use it almost constantly.

My walking foot is wonderful! Because of the cost, I did not purchase one until I tried making a velvet dress for my granddaughter with a regular presser foot. The cost was well worth it because sewing velvet with a walking foot was so easy. The walking foot is great when you have to match plaids or stripes and, of course, I don't think I could do machine quilting without it. I love it for sewing on the binding on a quilt.

When I first started quilting and found out about the walking foot, I thought it was just another gizmo, something I could do without, especially when I saw the price. Well, how wrong was I. A few months ago I finally succembed and bought one, the difference it makes is amazing, its as if you have been riding a bike with square tyres and all of a sudden you ride one with round tyres. So anyone wondering whether to buy/use one in the future, all I can say is, go for it.

Love mine when doing layers. It helps move top and batting at the same pace as the feed dogs.

I love using one. They really help with binding, and certain fabrics. Always use one with fleece.

They are great for putting on bindings, no puckers. They do what they are suppose to move the fabrics together. You have to try & get use to using one.

I have a Pfaff which has a built in "walking foot". They call it integrated dual feed. I use it all the time. There is no puckering and the stitches are much more even.

use it, use it, use it, it's wonderful!!!!!! :thumbup:

I use mine whenever I'm working with fleece or batting. I don't know what I'd do without it.
