Pieces2

I always use a walking foot when stitching in the ditch on charity quilts. Also use one when stitching on binding.

Don't need them for my machines.

Bought one when I realized how nicely my bindings went on my quilts with no puckers. Also use it for SID.

I've used two machines with built in DFS, and just recently have been using a machine with a walking foot attachment Bernina Virtuosa 150). I've found the walking foot to be more effective at keeping quilting layers together without shifting. Perhaps the DFS would be great for keeping slippery fabrics from sliding under the foot, or keeping plaids in their place, but I won't ever again do a binding or SID without a walking foot. Everyone has their own preferences, I guess.

I love my walking foot when I do some of the FMQ,and to help with my binding.

Thank you for asking this, as I think they are horrid, but perhaps I am just not doing something right. I get HUGE puckers on the top, as it acts like a snow shovel and plows a big wave of fabric toward me. In saying that, the lucky Bernina owners seem to love theirs!! :)
