I am machine quilting a quilt right now. I always use a walking foot when I quilt, so I don't mess up the back. I generally just follow the patchwork, doing a 1/4" from the edge of each patch. Nothing spectacular, but it gets the job done.

I am in total agreement regarding the Bernina. I also have a Bernina (too too too much money here). I have my late 1970's Singer (love it). Hindsite wish I had more of it.

Yep, the built in walking foot is the best thing ever!!

I am new to quilting and just finished my first small quilt and used a walking foot while following instructions for "quilting in the ditch." Surprised myself at how it turned out and can't wait to begin my next one!

FMQ free motion quilting

Mine is a Pfaff with a built in walking foot, wouldn't be without it.

I did not go the expensive route when I took quilting lessons. Since i had to purchase a machine for the lessons and did not know if I would like quilting I got a Brother sewing machine. It did not come with a walking foot. Then I had to purchase a universal walking foot that worked well for the first 2 quilts. Now it rattles & shakes so I guess I will have to buy another one. Anyone had this problem?

I have a Pfaff with duel feed and I love it. It quilts beautifully.

Yes, I use a walking foot on two of my machines and also started free motin quilting with the free motion foot. My Singer embroidery machine sell a quilting feet kit that came with the darning foot the walking foot a1/4" foot and two others that I haven't used yet.
