I do not have one, however, I have been considering it. I get frustrated when sewing on bindings, etc. I think it would be a good thing.

Definitely a "must have" for straight quilting and STD. Also great for sewing binding on and when making anything that's quilted or has layers.

A walking foot is a great investment and would recommend paying a little extra for an open toed one if you can.

I totally agree with you, I can't stand them and gave mine away and have never taught any of my Patchwork class to use them either, they are noisy, cumbersome and blinds you to where you are sewing.

Instead I use a Satin foot, as recommended by Nancy Johnson-Srebro, who's books I swear by.

A MUST TO HAVE if you are planning to join your topquilt with the batting and backing. So much easier and it does not PUSH your material and make clumps...
