I did find walking feet that are more open but I'm wondering about their effectiveness. Dallen, do they seem to work as good as the giant feet?

I've tried different wider feet but never bothered with a walking foot. I just use my standard 1/4" seam foot. Doesn't seem to make much difference to me. Until last year I've been using a vintage machine that didn't have much in the way of options.
I have the preemie quilts I'll be quilting down. I'll try one of them with my integrated Bernina walking foot feature, and one without. Be sort of a limited test, the size is so small and the batting thin but worth it to see if any noticeable difference.

I use the walking foot all the time because it is so hard for me to attach it to my little Singer. It doesn't bother me by obscuring anything. I do machine stitch the binding on the front hand sew the binding on the back.

I'm like Nan, I hardly ever use my walking foot. I've heard that some people hardly ever take theirs off their machine & use it like a regular foot all the time. Just find what works best for you.

Walking foot all the way! I use it for attaching the binding and then the final stitch to the quilt.
Check to see if the vendor has different feet options. I have an open toe, the 1/4 guide, and a SITD foot that can be used on my WF.
