As part of my Home Machine Quilting Club, I have the ladies quilt the outline of two 4" hearts that are overlapped, with their walking foot, just so they understand how much of a curve they can do with it. It's a great way to get a nice outline with perfect stitch length.

Yes you can. I have even made a complete circular pattern on a quilt using a walking foot. Jacquie Gering has some good videos on youtube & Craftsy. I took a class from a local teacher using Jacquie's methods. Here's the circle quilt I did with a walking foot.

I always use a practice sandwich pad to check out the pattern I want to do.

I've done waves and gentle curves before, but I am definitely going to try this on one of my next quilts:

You can do more. Like you that is what I wanted to know. I borrowed from my guild library a book entitled...Walk, Master Machine Quilting with Your Walking Foot by Jacquie Gering. The book is written as though she is talking especially to you, very informative and easy to understand. Lots of diagrams. This one book I am going to buy for myself.

My walking foot comes with two different foot attachments. One has a very small hole for the needle and most of the decorator stitches have the needle moving left and right, and it would hit the foot. The other foot is more open and it might work, but I would still be nervous about it and hand crank the machine through the first iteration.

Take a look at TallgrassprairieStudio.blogspot.com to see some of the work of Jacque Guering. She also has several books on using a walking foot on a domestic sewing machine. I think there are classes on Craftsy.
