The walking foot is good for straight line stitching. I have done gentle curves with it but If you are really into FMQ then get a FMQ foot. Check your accessories. If your machine came with a walking foot then it may well have also come with a FMq foot. That foot has a spring on the shank and either clear oval or open piece on the "foot" part. If not then it is well worth the investment. Quilting on Log cabin quilt can be done easily with straight line stitching using walking foot. But still check out FMQ foot.for other projects.
