Yeah, I would hold out. Oh, maybe in a thrift store you can find a super cheap high shank machine that has one with it. Then you have a back up machine and a walking foot. The thrift store near me had machines the other day for $25 and $30.

Sweet! I checked a few antique stores yesterday to no avail. They didnt even have sewing machines. Tomorrow im going to look again. I found a place online that sells them for 50 bucks and has them in stock. Waiting on a reply back to make sure it will work with my machine. Ill take it for 50 but 80 bucks is a tad steep.Yeah, I would hold out. Oh, maybe in a thrift store you can find a super cheap high shank machine that has one with it.

I thought about this route but it cannot be a generic walking foot. The generics do not work with the old Kenmores. It would have to be a Kenmore brand. So even with this route I would still need a low shank Kenmore foot. At least thats what the company I was going to purchase it from told me. So the option is to buy it as is for 50 dollars or purchase a super high to low shank adaptor and then purchase a low shank kenmore walking foot. It adds up to around the same cost. Id also have to buy them seperately which is a huge can of worms. But if I cant find the correct foot this is an option@Ninjasquirrel how about adding an adapter which would enable you to use a low-shank one?

I pinned it to the carpet
I have it set to 6. Ill try switching it to 8. The pressure is set at 3. I havent had a problem with bunching since I added more pins...thank goodness!It bunched up even with a walking foot? What setting was your stitch length? It should be at 3 or about 8 to 10 stitches to the inch for something that bulky.
