Feed dogs up for quilting with your walking foot.
Feed dogs down for FMQ with your darning foot on.
Ah, but somewhere I read on the Board (or at least thought I did) to leave the feed dogs up for FMQ. Worked like a charm - more even stitches. I couldn't believe it. Most of the quilt I did was FMQ with them down but I like the way the quilt looks where I FMQ with them up. I know it's strange but it really worked. But like I said, I'm just learning.
