I love, love, love my walking foot. Be sure you get instructions on how to put it on cause it is a little different... As many of you have mentioned, I even use it to put on binding, sew half square triangles - anything where the fabric may pull a little. I use it so much I sometimes forget I have it on!

I bought one for my old Necchi years ago from Nancy's Notions and broke on first try. I sent it back. I now have a Viking and bought one. It fits and it works and I really like it. Prevents tucks on the bottom/back when machine quilting straight lines. I wouldn't be without it. Gerry

The poor thing's been gone since Friday :(
