Thanks all. I do have a FMQ foot and have used it on a wall hanging , but the machine's one drawback is that the tension totally messes up with free motion sewing. I have to set the tension super tight and can hear the thread stretching. I go super slow and move the fabric at the correct time in the machine's motion, but the stretching of the thread is bothersome. I read somewhere else on this board about this machine and some fixes that have worked for others, I just need to try them. If all else fails, I can free motion on my old machine. I think I'm going to make a table runner this weekend and try out the walking foot. Hey, gotta use all the feet on the new machine to get it broken in properly!
