Linda, so glad you already have what you need to mark it.
It wasn't clear from your post ... have you ever done FMQ before? If not, I'd definitely recommend getting a yard or 2 of scrap fabric & batting so you can practice first. I generally hear it takes about 8 hours of practice to learn to do basic FMQ designs ... that's probably about what it took me to get something even halfway decent. Going with a 8-10" design will help, but all the back and forth turns in the Baptist Fan design take a bit to get the hang of.
If I've assumed wrong & you are a practiced FMQ'er, please forgive me. I guess I've just seen too many posts on the Board from people who thought their expertise with the walking foot would translate to FMQ work ... and were intensely disappointed to find it is a whole different skill set.
