I have a small quilt I'm almost finished with. It's a cover to my #2 treadle. I'll try your advise on it first.

Rolling feet don't feed the fabric from above like a walking foot. So, they won't work as well for quilting and feeding the layers through evenly. Use the walking foot before the rolling foot. Rolling feet were designed for feeding leather and slick fabrics, as I'm sure you know. Not for layers, though I'm sure you'll see the difference if you do a few samples.
