Depends;

If it is a walking foot then NO and why would you want to?

If it is a straight sewer then a simple matter of screwing on the roller foot although changing the feed dog and needle plate to a single row type may be an idea.

Anyone have info on whether or not I can replace/attach a walking foot to a TACSEW T622R, that does not currently have one on it?

**Another note my Aunt is giving me a quote of $900 on the Adler, is that a deal or not? Thanks

A walking foot machine has two interlinked bars containing presser and vibrating feet. The inside foot extends under the needle bar and moves forward and backward and up and down with the needle, in sync with the feed dog. The outer foot moves up and down, securing the work as the feed dog and needle move forward for the next stitch. You either have or don't have a walking foot machine.

Domestic (home) sewing machines have screw on attachments that are sometimes called walking foot attachments. They are actually just follow feet to keep layers of cloth from separating under the foot. The feet do not help transport the material and do less than nothing on leather.

I don not believe that the Tacsew T622 is anything more than a high speed straight stitch (garment) sewing machine. If it has one static presser foot bar in addition to the needle bar, and the needle only moves up and down, it is a straight stitch machine. A walking foot machine has three bars coming down.
