i tried both yesterday and actually got better results with the walking foot, but that was probably partly because I’m out of practice with FMQ and hadn’t got my movement and machine speed sorted out, so ended up with tiny stitches. But with the WF it was almost impossible to do a small circle. Thanks for confirming that using paper may work - it’s on my list to try! Had a go with freezer paper yesterday - it worked but then I couldn’t get the paper off ��
