Default Walking foot question

I am just beginning to machine quilt. So far I have only done hand quilting. But the need to get things completed in a more timely manner has driven me to machine quilting.

Currently I'm doing echo, straight line quilting on my DSM with a regular foot. Don't own a walking foot at this point. Tension is fine but I'm noticing that my stitch length is not consistent. Is this simply a product of my pulling/pushing the sandwich?? I suppose I should try some gloves to help move the fabric more gently/consistently??

Or do I need to bite the bullet and invest in a walking foot for my machine?

Any/all thoughts/comments welcome. Thanks.
