Walking foot

[Tigweldor]

For 22,50$US you can´t do much wrong - at least the new feed dog in your pic has a sharper "tooth" and square edges around the needle hole compared to the one you are running now.

And looks different than the one from Kunpeng - which has a more oblong hole and wider thread channel - for bigger thread and needle size:

Nord California. I found this on Ebay. Looks like what you are talking about. Does it look right?

Yes, I’ll do that, thank you.

It would be a good idea to buy the full set and maybe even a couple of them. I like to have modified needle plates to do different jobs. For doing tighter gussets it helps to sand away the front edge of the needle plate and a little bit from the back as well. Be careful not to take to much off the back as the back foot needs something to come down on to hold the job securely. These 3 pics show what I mean  - 

The needle plate I have in my hand here has the left side tapered off for when I am sewing bag handles that have a lot of swell under them. This helps to keep the needle to come into the handle squarely and not come out of the edge. Hope that helps some.

Very good pics.

At 22 bucks a pop for both plate and feed dog, it won´t break his bank either.

I see what you did, you made yourself a stirrup plate. Thanks for the tips. I’ll get 2 or 3 in a few days cause i am leaving for italy tomorrow.
