when i started machine quilting, i used a walking foot. then i rec'd harriet hargraves first book "heirloom machine quilting". i will never quilt like the book says i can, but i did sorta master the ability to fmq stitch around little farmers ..piggies etc on panel quilts for friends. i don't think i could do it with a walking foot ..ever. try w printed scraps. lower feed dogs ..stitch slowly ..you can do this.
