I was doubtful that this would actually make quilting over multiple layers of fabric and batting easy, but it did. I'm glad I spent the money on the Brother Walking Foot (instead of the generic that may or may not have fit my machine properly). I didn't use the included screw for the arm to attach to because it didn't hold the sewing needle well. The screw that is already on the sewing machine works just fine. I recommend this product.

I've been quilting for some time now, but without a walking foot... big mistake! The walking foot is a must for quilters because it pulls fabric from both top and bottom, preventing the fabric from shifting or bunching. This was especially helpful with the binding.

For anyone who owns a sewing machine, I would say this foot is a MUST HAVE. There are times when nothing else will substitute. I am a seamstress and own 6 sewing machines. Two I have lent to daughters, so I have three I use alternatively, depending on my project, plus we have a heavy-duty machine. Recently, my husband purchased a Brother. I was surprised and asked him why he did that since we already have four other machines. He is a boat-builder and wanted to try his hand at sewing the sail for it. He purchased the Dacron sail-cloth. It is such a heavy-weight processed cloth that pinning it is next to impossible. He discovered a specialized double-stick tape that works, but it is so slippery, the poor little Brother machine was not able to handle this alone, so I purchased this walking foot. It has made all the difference. I have a picture of him on the floor, sail cloth surrounding him, taking up most of our front room, foot pedal in one hand, along with the cloth, the other hand behind the machine, feeding the cloth through as he sews this difficult piece. I am so proud of him for his efforts and excellent work. He truly feels he couldn't have done what he did without that walking foot. To my husband I say: Well done, Friend.
