Do you engage the idt when you do your decorative stitches?
My dealer told me not to use the idt when going backward or side ways. If I want to use a decorative stitch when the display tells me not to use the idt, I disengage it. I find the info button quite handy because it will tell me when I choose a stitch whether I can use the idt or not.
Freedom of movement is a cool concept but I would hate to see any one ruin their walking foot.

This post addressed the same thing I have been trying to do. I have had luck doing the decorative stitches with the IDT on. I thought if you had layers that you needed it to feed the fabric through. I just discovered that my PFAFF has some decorative stitches that are great for quilting. A couple of them look like stippling even.
