I did mine and never used a walking foot. They turned out fine. I quilted my fabric on the long arm before I cut the pieces out to size. I can't quilt on my domestic machine.....it just ain't happening...lol. They are fun to make. I'm making about 6 more this weekend. The fabric is up on the quilting machine and I just need to be able to pry myself from the computer so I can go finish the quilting.
