I still believe in the Pfaff built in even feed walking foot which comes in the higher priced Pfaffs and Janomes HOWEVER, check e-bay and craig's list for the Pfaff 7550 or 7570 which were still made in Germany and can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of the new ones made in China. They are wonderful.

I have a Viking 630, supposedly all metal parts. What model do you have? What a timely topic. My Viking is at the repair shop, getting cleaned, and on my list of things to buy that I gave the guy, was a walking foot. He made sure I was aware that it wouyld be a little over $100

The poor thing's been gone since Friday :(
I didn't think they were that expensive

Fantastic, love it. I use it all the time for quilting but also for putting on bindings. I works beautifully.

I've to date never used one. I read what you all write, and think wow this is good, Maybe someday. :)

Ditto! Ditto! Ditto! And I always use it when sewing the binding on!
It makes quilting work better, it works wonderfully on purses, keeps the fabric from slipping. Well, worth the investment.

April's 1930's has a new walking foot for FW's for $24.95
www.april1930s.com The site has several close up pictures as well as how April tests out a new product before she will 'endorse' it.
