You use a darning foot and you're the one moving the quilt under the needle. No feed dogs....just you. Getting your foot (machine speed) and hands to move at just the right speed to keep everything in line is what you're trying to do. It's a lot of fun but it took me forever it seemed to take the plunge and I'm so happy to have finally done it. This is a great place to learn all sorts of techniques and any question you have will be answered. The people on this board are wonderful and I could have never done this without them. Have fun and welcome aboard!! :D
