I have to admit: when I used Janome, I only used 3 feet: Quilting/darning, walking foot and one that you use with over-lock stitch. Now that I use a Pfaff, I only use the one that locks the feeding arm down and quilting. Nice, Nice, Nice!

i guess if you were struggling with your binding shifting, you weren't using the glue down method. i glue and heat set my bindings down and don't have a problem with them moving.
now that i am quilting on my vintage machines, a walking foot may be a challenge to find but the gluing method makes a walking foot unnecessary. it's probably a good thing too.

I bought a very inexpensive Brother machine because I was having trouble with my Pfaff and put it in the shop. I had to buy a walking foot for the Brother machine and you're right...it's priceless.
Since then, I've wandered back to my16 year old Pfaff Tiptronic 2020, which is very tired, but still sews ok, and it has a much better feed dog, along with a built in walking foot, so I'm happy to be using it again, at least until it gives up the ghost completely. lol
