I use my regular foot. I sew the binding to the back, then turn to the front and sew by machine. I tried the walking foot one time and found no difference and didn't like the bulk of the walking foot.

I'm an advocate for using the walking foot, too. Prevents bowing or waving of your outer edge! I always hand-sew it to the back, though. My way of putting a little lovin' into the final stitches!

I don't use a walking foot but like Mariposa I sew on the back first and then use a decorative stitch on the front.

I do not - don't even own a walking foot! My machine has no issues with going through that many layers. I also wait to trim my quilts AFTER the binding is machine sewn to the front so I have a little more fabric to hang on to while doing that step.

I never have. The few times I have attempted to use my walking foot I had problems and did not like the way it sewed. Straight line quilting had more puckers and I had to do a lot of ripping. I prefer my plain old quarter inch foot.

I always use a walking foot to get better results.

I always use my walking foot to put my binding on the front then hand stitch it to the back. The walking foot seems to keep the layers all even and together.

I have always used my walking foot to apply the binding. I feel the even feed/walking foot helps put the binding on right and also helps my machine feed dogs not wear out. Just something I thought of, not anything I have ever heard. Makes sense to me though.

I just use my regular 1/4" foot though I'm sure the walking foot would do a better job. No shifting as others have mentioned.

Depends on which machine I am using, so sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. It is fine both ways.
