Help w/viking 545

Hi folks. I was trying to put the walking foot on today and I can't get the
screw to take. the walking foot puts more distance to the shaft than that
normal foot-holder-thingy, leading me to believe that the tip of the screw
may be stripped? any thoughts on that? I can get the normal
foot-holder-thingy screwed in just fine. Or might the strippage be in the
receptor hole on the shaft?

TIA

Are you seeing the tip of the screw at the other side? (Is it actually going
all the way through?) Is it possible that the screw you're using is too
short? My walking foot came with its own screw, and its threaded area, I
believe, is longer than the others.

The walking foot should come with a slightly longer screw. Do you have
this? Were you trying to use the one on the machine?

The walking foot has its own screw and needle clamp screw. Are you
using those or the ones for the regular ankle?

On my Viking Rose, the walking foot came with a longer screw. Not much
longer, so I just use it all the time, even with the regular ankle bit.
