    loosen your top tension--material needs more space. (not the thread tension, just the pressure foot tension).

    I use a walkig foor on my viking 875 all the time. I love how much better it grabs the fabric.

    I don't think you would get puckers FMQing unless you basted poorly, since the machine is not feeding the fabric.

    I've never had a pucker FMQ (and my basting isn't great), but I get them HORRIBLY, TERRIBLY when I straightline quilt, because the machine feeds the bottom at a different rate than the top. I'm buying a walking foot this weekend, because it is just not worth my time picking out rows and trying to do them again with less shifting.

    I only stitch in the ditch to outline areas for FMQing, but the puckers I've been experiencing are just not pretty! (I guess I could have tried adjusting the presser foot pressure, but I'm not really sure how to decide how to adjust it, and don't really have the material availble for trial and error...)
    How can one use a walking foot when FMQ??

    Ditto that.

    My first quilt I had sooo much trouble quilting, then I ordered a walking foot and all problems solved. That was on a Husqvarna 535. So I've used it on both and love it.

    Have to wonder if there was something wrong with her walking foot that she was getting puckers.

    I don't use one. Mine does not seem to work as it should.
