I too agree with everyones comments. I use both all the time. I have three Berninas and each has a 1/4" foot. The one I travel with does not have a walking foot but I always make sure I have taken the walking foot from another before I leave. Using the correct food really does make a difference in the finished project. Just keep chocolate nearby and you will be set to stitch!

I use them both all the time. If one is off the other is most likely on. If you can afford them both I would definately buy them.

If you can swing both it will make your quilting so much easier and a lot less ripping out!

I'd definitely order both the walking foot and the 1/4 inch seam foot. You'll find they are well worth the money. I would not enjoy quilting nearly as much without both of those feet. I also often use them for my general sewing (e.g., the 1/4" foot for sewing doll clothes and the walking foot for matching plaids, sewing velvet, etc.).

I always use a walking foot for putting on the binding. It is imperative for me to have both sides of the fabric move together so I don't get any stretching. BTW, I love putting on binding with it. I did invest in a 1/4 inch foot and love it, however I am still working on trying to find that area that is a scant 1/4. So if you are in the market for both, they won't sit in the corner when you are sewing, you will probably use them a lot.

I use my WF for quilting, but it is essential when attaching the binding. Without that foot, my binding does not feed under the presser foot right and ends up looking terrible.

You do need both feet to make life easier on you. Some of the machines now have an interchangeable walking foot where it also has other feet to go on it. Make sure you get the walking foot made for your machine; not all of them last as long or do as good of a job even though they say they are universal.

I use my walking feet for everything - more than my regular presser feet. I have several walking (Acufeed) feet for my Janome and use them 1/4" foot is great -- just remember to change your needle setting to get an accurate 1/4".

If you are doing any machine quilting get the walking foot.

Yes to both. They are the only 2 feet that I use on my Janome 6500.
