I thought the walking foot was like a crutch and that I just wasn't skilled enough to use a regular foot for piecing. Come to find out now it's a pretty common practice and I'm not alone! I feel so much better now! :)

Wow! after reading all the answers to this, i feel so dumb! I never thought of leaving my walking foot on. I only use it to quilt! I didn't realize i could use it any time. Thanks for this info. Now i won't have to stop and take it off to keep sewing.

Thanks for the post...it got me to thinking about giving it another try and now it is a challenge to make it work. :)

This is the reason I love my Pfaff. It has the built in IDT (walking foot) which allows me to use just about any foot with it engaged. I always use the IDT when piecing or generally sewing because the fabric feeds more evenly.
