So, I am going to sew my first school days coat for my daughter, and after reading Liesl's blog about her beautiful school days coat that she made for her daughter, I was convinced to get a walking foot for my sewing machine. While I was searching (and researching) online for a walking foot , I came across another optional foot attachment called "acufeed open toe foot" for janome sewing machine. My understanding is that a lot of people use this attachment for quilting and appliqué, but I have read some people say that "acufeed open toe foot" is better and more worth getting it than walking foot to sew a bulk/thick layers of fabric. I would like to get some opinions on this. Thank you!
