I made this project with the Brother CS6000i I bought a couple years ago. I'd made some curtains for a friend, but then had to pack everything away because I was moving. So, this year I finally got it unpacked and started the challenge of the baby blanket. I'm still learning the machine.
There were a lot of feet included with the purchase, but mostly I used the standard (J) foot. It worked nicely for most of the stitching, but I kept misjudging where the line of stitching should end..I kept thinking I was at the exact end, but when clipping the threads, I was often short of where I wanted to be, so had to go back in to get those last 3 or 4 stitches.
When I added the second backing, I used the walking foot that came with it, and I liked the more open toe it had. My mentor, Judy, told me about the stitch in the ditch foot, so I just ordered a ditch foot from Amazon to use on my next project. (I think my next one won't be so ambitious..

Link is to the pattern I bought. You'll see I changed things up a bit, but I was trying to make it a little simpler...
