LOL You guys are going to laugh and shake your heads.......... But I don't have a walking foot, but am already on Amazon shopping for one! LOL Ok, and my set up is that my machine sits down flush inside a large work table, so that is good... and I have the ironing board and other tables available to help out when I attempt this again.
I didn't adjust my tension OR stitch length.... so I will play with a practice sandwich and make THOSE changes, too.
Thank you so much for your time and advice!!
