I understand now, I do have an embroidery/quilting foot for both my Singer and my Kenmore. The feed dog drops on both of them so no need to cover right ? I have an attachment that looks like a walking foot but they called it something else, and I am not sure how to put it on. I guess I just need to take my time and figure it out instead of hurrying and trying to get things done to quickly.
Thank you very much, I will try get a picture and post it of the accessory that looks like the walking foot maybe you can tell me what it is.

I am not sure what you mean by cover the feed dog area?
My Kenmore machine doesn't drop the feed dogs, so I have to cover them with a piece of plastic. If you can drop them, you don't need to do that.
You might find a quilting/embroidery foot a help. It has a circular part that contacts the fabric, and a spring loaded shaft that keeps even pressure on the fabric. They are not too expensive. I find it really makes a difference when I am doing squiggly machine quilting.
For straight quilting and stitch in the ditch, I use a walking foot that keeps the fabric from scrunching and puckering. (They are a bit more expensive--between 15 and 25 dollars--you just need to get one that matches the height of your foot--either low shank or high shank.
Hope this helps.
