I need to get a walking foot. I know it would be a great investment. Believe for my featherweight it would be $125.00. I know it would solve a lot of problems.
Thanks again!

I can't remember the name of my pins but they are very fine and I sew over them as it does not cause a problem with my machine. I have a Pfaff that I piece on with a built in walking foot....couldn't imagine not using a walking foot. I know yours will be expensive but it will be well worth the frustration of not matching up your pieces and blocks. Maybe you could check around for a walking foot that is less expensive but the same quality.

HOBO2000, Where did you get your walking foot? I had an ad from an online sewing machine place, and they wanted the $125.
Thanks for the info; tell me where; I can almost afford $14.95!

A featherweight uses a standard short shank walking foot which should be available for less than $20. I bought mine from a Singer dealer (surprise there still are a few) and paid $24.99. The only walking feet that should be $125 would be for a Bernina which will only work with a Bernina foot.

Reply to Shelbie,
Would you mind telling me where to find a Singer dealer? We had one in out town until about 15 yrs. ago, and I don't even know where this is one now.
Thanks,Mariah.
