What a Difference
#44
It amazes me that some of the members here are only just discovering their walking foot. I've had mine since I started quilting and would you believe it was a man who told me about it, not my teacher. I rang to inquire about a quarter inch foot and this chap said "if you're going to be quilting you will need a walking foot". I rang at just the right time as Janome were having a sale at the time and I got the whole kit (walking foot, 1/4" foot , open toe foot, quilting guide plus extras) for half price. I have 3 Janomes and they all have a walking foot. Don't use it on my 10000 as I keep that for embroidery only.

Another trick I learned is to use a serger. It makes a world of difference feeding the quilt through while attaching the binding. I don't have a serger, yet, but I do go to moms and use hers. I have also used the over-locking stitch on my Janome 7700 when I don't have time to go to moms. And then I use my even feed (walking foot) to attach the binding.

I hear people talking about how expensive the wallking foot is. I paid about $10.00 (if that much) for mine. Do the more expensive ones do more? Is the cost because it's for a special machine? Mine works fine. BrendaK
