I love, love, love my walking foot. Be sure you get instructions on how to put it on cause it is a little different... As many of you have mentioned, I even use it to put on binding, sew half square triangles - anything where the fabric may pull a little. I use it so much I sometimes forget I have it on!

I think you'll like it

I bought one for my old Necchi years ago from Nancy's Notions and broke on first try. I sent it back. I now have a Viking and bought one. It fits and it works and I really like it. Prevents tucks on the bottom/back when machine quilting straight lines. I wouldn't be without it. Gerry

I love mine. You definately need one.

Wow, a lot of love going for the walking foot. :) I wouldn't be without mine either. I actually like it best for piecing. I would be lost without it at this point.

The poor thing's been gone since Friday :( |
I have one for all of my machines. I use for binding & for sewing layers together like SID. Feeds all layers at the same time.

I think it is one of the best things invented for quilting and just sewing seams! :thumbup:
