I sooo want to be able to free motion quilt also. I think I need to try one of the "non hopping" feet. That hopping really is a distraction to me but I don't want to re-vamp the darning foot that came with my Janome. I'm thinking I should buy a generic darning foot that will fit my machine & try to make it into one like Leah Day's foot. I need so much practice.
