My DH bought me an even feed/walking foot for my little Viking Sarah, as
a Christmas present.
I know how the foot works but, there are 2 bars that come with it. One
fits on the right side of the foot and one on the left. I have no clue
as to how they are used and the directions that come with the foot do
tell me what their purpose is. Can someone help me.

I'm not sure this will help, but half way down this page:
http://sewingmachine221sale.bizland.com/store/page63.html

there is a description of a Viking Dual Feed/Walking Foot,
and the description says:

" Quilters sew bulky layers of fabric and batting smoothly
and easily. Helps keep plaids and stripes even. Comes with
guide (different than picture) for precise top stitching
which adjusts left or right.
On some models it may be necessary to slightly adjust the
needle position to the opening in the foot."

NAYY,

Beverly

Those are 'quilting bars'. Ones for the left and one for the right of
the foot... You use them to determine parallel lines of stitching, and
they are very useful. In addition to the owner's manual, I suggest you
try to get the latest attachment guide: this lists all the different
feet for the different models and shows how they are used. Mine is so
well used it's falling apart, and as my machine is now 9 years old, I
can no longer replace the guide! :(

Thanks for the information. It's so simple once it's explained and makes
sense. Beverly thanks also for the web page. The prices are a lot better
than the dealer I use for accessories. I don't need many but every once
in awhile I decide I would like to have a special foot for something.

You're welcome. That site came up when I searched on
"Viking even feed foot":

You might find other useful sites there.
