I know that my mom uses her tiny machine to quilt, but she uses a method she calls "quilt as you go" ?? I am not familiar with how it works, I have a long arm.
But I tried long ago to do a baby quilt on my regular machine and ended up in tears. At that time, I had never heard of a walking foot. It bunched up on me too. The bottom fabric and top fabric are not moving at the same pace.
