There is only one brand of sewing machines...lol... There is only one brand of sewing machines that have a walking foot built in, and that is the Pfaff brand. That is the kind I have. In the next few years, the patent expires so the other machine brands are going to start being able to integrate them into their machines as well. In the meantime they can be bought as an attachment and like you said they can be kind of expensive. You mom is right though, it can make a world of difference to your sewing projects, especially if you are sewing two different fabrics together. However, it is just as possible to do basic sewing and learning without a walking foot, the final project just doesn't seem quite as professional without having to adjust the tensions. I didn't have a walking foot for the first few years I sewed.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16794592162573251230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4629217942696182058.post-34842087741368496602008-06-12T19:51:00.000-06:002008-06-12T19:51:00.000-06:00It looks so snuggly! My mom told me that I absolu...It looks so snuggly! My mom told me that I absolutely must get a walking foot. So, as we drove to a sewing shop, I innocently said "So, are they expensive?" My mom says "Uh huh" and then I say "Oh. Like $30?" and she says "Umm... a little more than that." And then we get to the store and it costs $95!!!! What in the world? Ok, so I have a Viking and I'm not sure if that is why it is so expensive, but sheesh! How am I supposed to get into sewing when all the essential tools cost so much? I'm mean, I've already invested about $1,000 in my yarn and scrapbooking stash. It's so frustrating that being crafty costs so much money.
