Does anyone know if a walking foot can be repaired? I need to replace the part of the walking foot with the rubber grips, but cannot get the old one out of the foot. I have a new part and would like to make the foot usable. Any suggestions from anyone? Thanks. I paid $20 for the part thinking it would be less expensive than $140 which I am told a new foot costs. Maybe that wasn't a wise move considering time, etc. to try to fix it.

Thanks for the encouragement but I have a feeling that this one is not that simple. It is very simple until this last thing because I am doing it myself, but it looks like the piece that needs to come out has been put in there to stay. I will check with a dealer in a few days if no one has a solution for me that I can do myself. Thanks again and happy sewing.
