I am working on my first quilt and, of course, I am relatively ignorant. However, I went on to eBay and found a walking foot for my Singer Stylist 538. I have been able to put a particular machine's name into the search box on e-Bay and had machines and parts of that particular model come up. I am sure that wouldn't work on just any machine at any given time, however, you can always look through the Singers - although that might be a long search.

Sometimes they are called "dangerous." Yesterday my DH walked into the room, I turned to look at him and yup..got my finger between the walking foot and the rest of the needle apparatus. Nice moon shaped cut. Lesson learned: Take your foot off the foot control before you turn around to talk to someone.

But my question is can I get a generic walking food for my machine?
