Thanks everyone! You all gave me a lot of good hints. I ordered the Pat Sloan book yesterday and am signed up for a class at the nearest quilt shop. In the mean time I will play around some more with my walking foot. I made 6 Christmas quilts for the grands this year, but the actual quilting was just so, so. I am sure they will never notice, but it bugged me a bit. My walking foot was rather noisy. Is that normal? I think it was on right, but not sure. The little arm was up on the screw of the shank. Again, thanks for all of your support!
