Thank you Patrice for this post.
I just pieced a quilt top using my walking foot instead of a 1/4" foot..I had better results in the beginning and ending of each seam. I put my needle in the down position, placed my fabric right up to the needle, lined up the edge of my fabric with the rectangular hole in the walking foot, held onto the thread ends when I started and got perfect 1/4" seams.
The walking foot also solved the problem of my fabric ends not matching when I got to the end of a seam.
This is probably the best quilting tip I've gotten...I think I'll always piece my tops using my walking foot.
