Very interesting. I would like to add that the walking for the viking is also about $100, but oh so worth it. I bought my GD a Brother for Christmas and it came with a walking foot, quite a deal I thought.

I keep two domestic machines set up in my quilt studio. One has a 1/4 foot for piecing and the other has a walking foot for binding. I use the walking foot for all my bindings.

Be sure the fork of the foot goes around the post on the machine or it won't work right.

I mainly use two feet on my machine, the curvemaster foot for quarter-inch seams and curves, and my walking foot for everything else, except quilting. For that I use my Q-foot on my Viking Quilt Designer II. It works like a charm.

I bought a generic brand walking foot....cause I didn't know any different when I bought it. It works fine on my D1 HV. I haven't tried it on others....It does not fit on my Bernina 830.
