I have not been quilting very long. I have mostly done straight line quilting 3" to 4" squares. I tried a bit of free motion quilting on a Dr. Suess quilt I made, but wasn't totally impressed. I realize that it takes practice, but I have a couple questions. Do you use a walking foot or the "square" embroidery foot? I didn't put the feed dogs down as I was using the walking foot but wondered if that was correct. I am guessing they should be down if using the embroidery foot.
I did decide to have a long arm quilter quilt the queen size quilt I made as a grad gift. It was beautiful and will use her for the larger quilts but hope that I could do some of the smaller quilts myself....
