I would run from those Walmart machines in a big hurry. I recommend looking on Craigslist or Sewitsforsale to find a used machine of higher quality. What you need most is a machine with a walking foot or a machine that can be fitted with one in the future. If you want to fmq, make sure you can drop the machine's feed dogs and lessen the presser foot pressure. Good luck and welcome to the world of quilting.
