Welcome to a whole new world. The walking foot helps feed the layers of the quilt thru. You will need to turn off your feed dogs when you use it. Look in your manual on how to change it out. I have 2 Brothers and they are basicly the same on changing out feet, but some may vary just a little. You can also go to youtube for alot of tutorials. They have basic sewing and quilting ones. There are also alot of great tutorials on this site and you can probably look on the net for tutorials on your perticular machine.
Good luck and don't get discouraged.
You'll be a pro in no time. Just remember have FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!
