I have a Bernina 1530. You need your free motion foot if there are curves. If it is straight stitching, use the walking foot. If you haven't done free motion before, I suggest you make a practice quilt with some NEVER to be used fabric with batting in between. Mark your design on it with any type of marker and give it a try. Cheater panels are also a good practice tool. You want your stitches to be constantly the same length. Always keep your eye on where you want to go next. When riding a bike, you don't look in front of the front tire but down the road. As with anything, practice will help. GOOD LUCK !!! :lol:
