Thank you so much! I'm thinking for this particular project I don't need a walking foot, because i am quilting each square separately and then attaching them together. And I definitely don't need to worry about lowering the feed dogs! That's probably never gonna happen! lol
My mom loves to sew and dabbles in quilting, and I'm sure I could ask her these questions, but this is going to be a surprise for her 50th birthday in June. (Or maybe, I'll give it to her for Christmas. I have hundreds of squares to cut out.)
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!
