Thanks everyone
I think madquilter may be right as I do have a tendency to be in such a hurry to see my first block that I rush things and have not prepared prioperly, but everything that has been said by you all makes sence, I have just bought a walking foot, but I think thewy sold me the wrong type for my machine as I can not suss out a way of attaching it, and the shop is about 30 miles away so I will have to take it back first opportunity I get. When I do I think I will have to invest in a 1/4 " foot also.
Thanks for all your help girls. The main thing is I must slow down and take heed of what you have all advised and not be so impatient. Lol
