Love mine, can't even imagine not using it. The brand ones are more expensive - Did not know they had the "generic" type. You must know if it is a long or short shank. Also, when putting it on make sure the lever goes over the screw on the right. Price wise, check out them on line & they should also give instructions. Good Luck!

I've been wondering if I could get one for my machine and how much they cost. Anyone know? I just found out I'm going to be a great Aunt 3 times over! So, I'll be doing blankets for a while outside of making one for my Gr8t GD! I'm so blessed!
Here is a website that has Brother Sewing Machine Parts.

Does anyone know of an attachment for the walking foot, like a guidebar to the side so you can do cross hatching without having to mark every line?

Wouldn't be without one

when quilting either a straight line or a SID, I think the Walking Foot is a big necessity. NO PUCKERS. Otherwise, you run the risk. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of ripping out stitches.

I can't imagine working without one now. Pcs. of any thickness at all need a walking foot.
For those having trouble with one you must have it set up wrong. Just give it one more try to see what the prob. might be. Or just ask somebody close to you to ck it for you. I promise you'll love it once you get that problem figured out.

LOL* This did kind of make me smile because my walking foot really frustrated me too. I don't know if I got as frustrated as you did there lol*, or if I'm using it incorrectly or what but I bought it six years ago and still don't like it. Lol* Some people seem to really love theirs though. Go figure lol*
