Ditto to the above response! I also would like to say that I've made quilts (mostly baby or lap size) for many years. I used to tie them because I didn't get good results trying to quilt them. The back always puckered. I finally bought a walking foot about a year ago. What a difference! I can't believe I waited so long to buy it! If you plan to keep on quilting/sewing, do yourself a favor and invest in one. You won't be sorry! :)
