I have never had a walking foot to use on my sandwiches.
Just a lot of determination!:lol:
My new machine came with a walking foot. I tested it on a small sandwich and it was soooooo nice. !!!!!!
Good luck.

Nothing beats a walking foot. You can get everything right in the "sandwich" , pin like crazy , have built the perfect "sandwich" and the machine can still "feed" the different layers through a regular foot at differnent rates causing the pleats, puckers and disappointment.
If you have not invested in a walking foot ... maybe its time ! It was a life changing gismo!
