LOVE the walking foot! It's a very expensive accessory for Berninas but it has saved me more than once from seeking counselling and/or throwing things!
|
I have to admit: when I used Janome, I only used 3 feet: Quilting/darning, walking foot and one that you use with over-lock stitch. Now that I use a Pfaff, I only use the one that locks the feeding arm down and quilting. Nice, Nice, Nice!

i guess if you were struggling with your binding shifting, you weren't using the glue down method. i glue and heat set my bindings down and don't have a problem with them moving.
now that i am quilting on my vintage machines, a walking foot may be a challenge to find but the gluing method makes a walking foot unnecessary. it's probably a good thing too.:) |
LOVE my walking foot!

I, too, have discovered the beauty of the walking foot. It is great and after using one, it is difficult to go back to not using one.
|
It's funny how different people are! My walking foot will never see the light of day again. I couldn't get over how much of a better experience it was to do it without the walking foot!
|
Yes, I find a walking foot my best friend when I'm working with anything more than one layer.
|
like my walking foot for lots of things. Makes life easier.

Since then, I've wandered back to my16 year old Pfaff Tiptronic 2020, which is very tired, but still sews ok, and it has a much better feed dog, along with a built in walking foot, so I'm happy to be using it again, at least until it gives up the ghost completely. lol |
After fifty years sewing, maybe I should try the walking foot.:o
