I would think your ability to FMQ with a walking foot would be pretty limited. Some curves and wavy lines would be doable, but you would have to pivot the quilt rather than change the direction you are moving the quilt, such as side to side or in circles. Do you have a darning foot? The combination of a darning foot and lowered or covered feed dogs is what is recommended the most (I presume) for FMQ.
