I got a generic one for my Bernina from my husband and son for Christmas. It is wonderful. Not easy to put on, but worth it! I used it for the rolled up pillow case pattern too, as it holds all the layers together when you sew that long seam. I like the idea for things like handbags too. I am definitely going to try that. I think my husband found mine on ebay.

can't imagine life without a walking foot. lol... in addition to working on a sandwiched quilt and its binding, they are indispensable for patchworking flannel. just bought an inexpensive brother to keep at my mom's and ordered the walking foot along with it. :-)

I find my walking foot is essential. Keep it handy along with the screwdriver that came with my machine. I guess your success depends on the brand of sewing machine? I have two Vikings, one old (metal parts) and the other medium-aged. Both work well with the WF.
