I still like a minimum of quilting so I tend to straight line or Serpentine stitch with my walking foot. I am not too good at FMQ because I don't practice and really don't like it enough to spend the time and effort. So far I have been very successful with straight line...Jackie Gehring and Angela Walters do wonderful creative straight line designs using blue painters tape or dot to dot technique. I do not like to mark so I either use this method or the gadget that comes with my walking foot to follow the previous line. You can do triangles and sunburst with your walking foot and gentle curved stitches. Maybe one day I will work at FMQ but for now I am happy with my walking foot...
