I had heard that so I asked my Viking Dealer. He said that it was true for certain very early walking feet, but he said I was just fine using it with all my Vikings. I love the serpentine stitch for putting binding down and use it often with my walking foot. My guess is any of the newer ones would it would be fine, but check with your dealer to make sure. And for newer, I bought my walking foot in 2001 and have used it with decorative stitches ever since.

It's not that it "ruins" the foot. It is that many machines don't do "other than straight" stiches correctly with a walking foot. We've seen multiple posts here where someone couldn't figure out what they were doing wrong and that was the problem. Maybe she has a point. (eye roll, LOL).

I would have told her well if it breaks I'll buy another one, no big deal to me. That usually shuts up the know it all when they find out you don't give a rat's a_ _. LOL

She sounds like a paper-pusher in my doctor's office. They really love telling you no, as pompously as possible.
Re the binding,I am just getting ready to do that for the first time. I wasn,t going to use the walking foot because I didn't think it would ride over the raised binding edge that well. Is that what most people use? Should we ask the guild lady?

I don't blame you! We all have met people like that. That is a big reason why I am not in a quilt guild.
