Good Morning all!

I have to give machine quilting a good try. I have hand quilted for a number of years, and the fingers seem to just be wearing out. LOL After reading a number of posting on this site I have just two questions..

What size needle do you use to have it look close to hand quilting. (Half of a queen is hand stitched ..need to do the remaining on machine) AND what stitch length.

ALSO, am I correct.. Walking foot for stitching in the ditch and straight line. Darning foot and feed dog down for Free motion? I have a 3 year old Elite Kenmore. I also discovered I have a speed control slide on the front of the machine. I have read your posting on Speed Control.

Thanks for your Help.
