You need a "walking foot" to quilt on you machine-the walking foot allows all three of the layers (top,batting backing)to move along at the same pace and not bunch up under the needle--you probably could buy a generic foot for your machine or get on-line to the Brother Co and ask them--the 1/4 inch foot is to keep your seams at the same width--some of the" quilting " feet are really for free motion quilting--
