I'm in the free motion foot and walking foot category. That's all I need. And a practice "sandwich" that sits beside my sewing machine to so I can "get into the swing of things" before every time I start to quilt. Gets me in the mood and the motion. I can't use gloves, although the banking fingers are sometimes helpful (they don't fit on all ten fingers, though). I, too, like acrylic extended table. And music is a must! Stephen Halpern CD's bring out the creative part of me and help me relax, which is really important in free motion quilting.
