Attaching walking foot for Viking 6570
A while back, I bought this walking foot for my newest machine 
, a Viking 6570:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]539123[/ATTACH]
Has anyone used this specific foot? There is a clip to attach it to the presser-foot bar and the hook, seen in the photo here, that clips to the needle screw. Is that it? Nowhere do I see a screw to secure it to the presser-foot bar. It seems unstable. Could you please confirm the method of attachment? Thanks!

I would assume that it would attach the same way as the other feet attach to bar behind the needle (Pressure bar?). The hook goes on the screw of your needle so that it can move in time with your needle's movement. Sometimes it is difficult to get both items lined up on my Bernina

unclip the foot that is one the machine and slide this one in place. And if you don't have that clip foot, then you'll need to get one.
my first machine was a 6570, and a year later I moved up to a 990, and they both take the same type of foot attachment.

Here are pictures of the 6570. (DH's machine)
The 990 takes the same feet, though it's a slant machine so the adapter is different. However I think the walking foot is straight shank specific, but does look like it requires the adapter to clip on.
