My machine won't let my feed dog drop, so I don't have much luck freehanding, or I would have done it in the first place. She's supposed to be an experienced quilter, so I left it up to her. I don't know the designs on any machines, so figured she knew better than I would what she has. I didn't pay very much, but that's besides the point. My sister said I got what I paid for, but I was willing to pay lots more. I may even rip the entire thing out, and just stich in the ditch, or maybe I can convince my DH that I really do need a new machine. And she does have another one, just like that that she said she had about 2 rows to go. BLAHHHHHHHHHHHH
