Once I had to stop at the edges of the quilt, I started filling in the four corners. I kept the edge of the walking foot against the previous row in order to space the quilting which is about 3/8-1/2" apart. It took about 8 hours to do the quilt which measured about 45" X 60." My walking foot may be a bit wider than some as it is the one that came with my Janome 6600 which has a built in even-feed function. It is tricky to get started on the initial couple (tight) spirals, but gets much easier as the spirals get larger and the curve shallower. I practiced first on a couple hot pads to get the feel for it. It would also be helpful to practice drawing the initial 2-3 rows.

After seeing Jacquie Gering mentioned on this very interesting thread, I Googled Jacquie and came across this video which had really motivated me to use my WF for other just straight lines.
