...it's a miracle waiting to happen. Go ahead and use it.
"touch the ball"

I bought one and loved it for the brief time I got to use it but it had plastic parts and blew out pretty fast. It does just what the name says, walks over thick fabric. A good one would be great I would think. JMHO :roll:

I'm not sure about a built-in dual feed but, with a normal walking foot, you can only use it with stitches that progress forwards all the time, ie. the fabric must not be moved sideways. Otherwise, the pattern will be distorted.

I can do almost any decorative stitch with a foot that allows me to use the Pfaff IDT (the built in walking foot). The only thing that would restrict me is the width of the stitch (9 mm) and I have IDT feet that can handle that.

Couldn't machine quilt without my precious walking foot. Well worth the investment.

I really like mine and do use it. Would especially like it for sewing the binding on the quilt, but I can't get a good 1/4 inch seam with it.
I would like to be able to use the width of the foot to measure by, but it's too wide.

Use my Pfaff IDT all the time. Would have a hard time sewing without it!

I have a friend who is a new widow with a severly disabled child and not very many $$$ She is a fairly new quilter ( her mental health activity ,needs a walking foot for her Bernina Activa 130. I am trying to find her one for the best price, any suggestions????? Rita

I think I need to post this as it own thread, what do you think?

I didn't think my Bernina was all that expensive at the shop. It was $59.00. Is that considered expensive? It was a bargain compared to what they want for a BSR, $1000.

Thank you I think that is a good deal.
