One think about a walking foot. Buy the best quality one. The ones sold really cheap (unless on a good sale) cause problems, don't do the best job, and won't last long. My first walking foot I bought the cheap generic one. I thought it was okay until it broke at retreat and my table partner said to try hers. The difference was amazing. Hers costs three times what mine did but so worth it. I was lucky the quilt shop holding the retreat sold them. I bought one that very hour.
