It sounds like you have an older Brother? I have used my almost 20 year old Brother machine. You can do regular straight stitching like stitch in the ditch quilting. You may want a walking foot for this.
Mine came with a cover plate for the feed dogs to do embroidery or free motion quilting. A generic hopping foot or darning foot fits mine just fine. For this, set the stitch length to zero.
Just practice first - before you do the "real" thing!
