Important update to my original video about putting a walking foot on an industrial sewing machine…
One viewer recommended a different type of screw for the Juki DDL-8700, so I ordered a box to test out, while another reports that attempting this walking foot hack threw the timing off on her sewing machine.

I did ask the dealer I purchased my machine from about this, and he didn’t really see an issue with attaching a walking foot as long as I don’t sew at a high speed, use shorter stitch lengths, and make sure the screw is secure. The threading in the screw hole could be stripped, but worst case scenario, the needle bar needs to be replaced.
