It just takes practice, no matter what foot you use or settings on your machine. You don't necessarily "need" a quilting foot. I have an old 15 class clone that free motions very well with the regular straight stitch foot on and feed dogs up. Her secret is no presser foot pressure, the inner spring for setting it is worn out. You don't say how old your machine is, but on some older machines the "darn" setting can be for feed dog height, not foot pressure. I also polish the bed of my machines so the fabric slides easier.
