Thanks, my speed might be the issue cause when I used a reg. foot it was fine. Won't be sewing till after xmas. Too much entertaining cutting into my sewing time (grin).

I broke 2 needles, needless to say I slowed it down a tad and was able to finish my projects without any further incidents. I never even thought about using my walking foot for fancy stitches until I took a Craftsy class (the instructor Jacquie can't remember her last name, sorry) does a lot of her quilting straight line but also using the serpentine stitch as well her quilts are awesome.
