<p>According to Pagat.com:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>A meld cannot contain more than seven cards, and a partnership is not allowed to have two incomplete melds of the same rank, but if you complete a pile, you can then start another meld of the same rank.</p>

<p>So not only can you not add a wild card, you cannot add <em>any</em> card. You'll need to attach it to another meld in progress, or make a new one.</p>

<p>In Hand and Foot, after completing a melded book, can you add a wild card to it?  For example, once you have completed a book, but have a wild card left in your hand, can you add the wild card to a previously completed book, in order to go into your Foot or to go out?</p>

In Hand and Foot, after completing a melded book, can you add a wild card to it? For example, once you have completed a book, but have a wild card left in your hand, can you add the wild card to a previously completed book, in order to go into your Foot or to go out?

According to Pagat.com:

> A meld cannot contain more than seven cards, and a partnership is not allowed to have two incomplete melds of the same rank, but if you complete a pile, you can then start another meld of the same rank.

So not only can you not add a wild card, you cannot add *any* card. You'll need to attach it to another meld in progress, or make a new one.
