Metal Shank Walking Foot with Guide Bar

Image from Google Search Engine
This one included inside the free gift for my Bunny. You can buy this foot from Bernina dealer or online suppliers at the range of US$24-26. (I will update if I found local supplier with RM$).

The shank on this walking foot is made of metal. Most walking feet have a plastic shank.
Often people will tighten the screw too tight when attaching causing the plastic shank to break. Since this walking foot has a metal shank, this will no longer be a concern.

Great for keeping quilt layers from shifting when sewing and keeping stripes and checks matched. Fabrics lie between an upper and lower feed dog, preventing them from slipping.

The walking foot has a feeding system that works with your machines feeding system. As the lower feeding system feeds the fabric through, the walking foots feeding system feeds the fabric from the top at the same rate as the bottom feeding system.

The walking foot is great for quilting because you have several layers of fabric and the layers
can slip around. The walking foot is often called an even feed foot.

New, with instructions. Comes with guide bar. The guide bar slides into either side of this walking foot or it can be used with other types of presser feet where there is a need to sew multiple rows of stitching.

I found a picture with instruction here.

(will update my work with this feet later)
