I'm probably not going to be a huge amount of help, but if your machine does do embroidery/sewing, then I think you would be ok going with that one. The good thing about Sears is that you could actually just get both...then return what didn't fit or you didn't like.....why are you getting the open toe? For FMQ...I use a closed toe (when using an open toe..sometimes the open arm part can get hung up in the threads, pokes the trapunto..etc.) When I am doing just straight quilting..a Walking Foot is MUCH better. Hope you get it figured out though...good luck!
