I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but just a word of caution.

I appreciate your words of caution; however, the walking foot made for my machine, and bought at a dealer, breaks consistently. The little arm that goes over the needle bar is plastic and eventually it wears out. I found one on line that has a metal arm. So, am giving that a try and so far so good. But, Holice, I always appreciate your comments and expertise.

Thanks to all of you for the really great info. I want to learn the free motion quilting. Makes the quilt look great!
