I bought a very cheap walking foot from ebay that fits my FW, and works well ($25). I have a 222 FW, and the feed dogs go down on that, so I got an embroidery/hopping foot, and it worked well on small wall hangings and mug rugs, but I wouldn't want to do anything of any size, I was just using it at a workshop at the time. At home, I would use one of my other machines.

And it's LIGHT WEIGHT so you'll have to contend with it possibly wanting to walk across the table from you as you push on the fabric.... A 301, or 15, or 66 or 201 would all be much better... For what it's worth, I wouldn't do it. YMMV If at all possible and if it were me, I'd be scouring the ads and craigslist etc for any one of the others I mentioned. |

I do mean just straight lines. And I think I have a walking foot, but I don't know if it would fit the FW since it wasn't bought specifically for it. One way to find out... |
