Congratulations Grandma7, when the spray basting came out a number of years ago my pins went out the window. Love that stuff. Most of us Pfaff owners have used the IDT (walking foot) for years and couldn't imagine not having one. Pfaff was the only machine for years that had that built in feature until they sold out a few years back....now others I believe have something simular. I do have walking feet for my other machines and they are truly wonderful in keeping the fabric moving evenly on top and bottom. Glad you are finding more ways to expand your quilting experiences as it is so much fun. There is something for all of us to learn everyday on this wonderful board. I have also gleened so much knowledge from all the wonderful quilters here.
