Machine with Walking Foot- Is it worth it?
#1
DM has a Jenome that she bought a few years ago for about $300.00. She thinks she needs a walking foot and does not want to buy a separate one for her machine. She does not want to fiddle with the walking foot attachment. Do you think a walking foot makes that much different in piecing quilt pieces? She is not doing any quilting... thanks for taking the time to give me your advice. I don't want her to spend any extra money if it does not make that much difference.

I have a Janome for around the same price, bought it over ten years ago, wonderful machine.
I do use a walking foot on it and very happy to use it. You don't have to buy special Janome walking foot.
Go to any sears store and look for Kenmore Sewing machine attachments. There is a little box with a walking foot and a few other feet in it.
For only around $ 19.95. Kenmore is related to Janome, it will fit. I use the walking foot on my Janome and on my daughters Kenmore.
I use the foot when quilting on putting binding on.
Hope this will help, it's also not a biggie to attach the foot.
