I have a 1/4" foot also, but it's just a hassle taking my walking foot off; so I have figured out where the 1/4" is on the walking foot, now I use it for EVERYthing.
Why can't they just make the regularly feet with "teeth" on the bottom so they can grab the materials too? (I'm too simple-minded :))

I got the 1/4 inch foot with my Bernina, and bought the walking foot, and don't know how I survived without both of them. You will never be sorry about either purchase. I can't afford LAQ, so the walking foot was a good investment, since I do all my own quilting, mostly SID or just outside the seam line, is that called shadow quilting? Anyway, go for it,

A 1/4" foot is on my machines as the everyday foot.
I don't machine quilt often, but when I do I always use the walking foot. Didn't once and the results were not good.

Both are invaluable. If you only purchase 2 machine items, these are the 2.

I would get both if you can. You'll see the difference right away with the 1/4 foot.

A walking foot is GREAT for garment sewing too. Hemming t-shirts has always been troublesome for me, but this time I used the walking foot and what a difference! No more hem ripples. Also great for pile fabrics and matching plaids. Just would say not to sew too fast.

I use both of mine all the time. The walking foot is a must. I am able to quilt my quilts on a LA but need my walking foot to put the binding on. I love love love my 1/4" seam foot. I can't say enough good things about it.
