The problem with using your walking foot to do star is, you will need to turn the quilt several times to do a star outline. If the quilt is small, it shouldn't be too hard to turn. If you use your FM foot, it allows you to do a star without turning the quilt around. It is fairly easy to do the stars with the lines going through the middle (like in grade school) and put a couple of loops and then another star and so on. It would help if the top has squares that you can put a star in each square.
