Which 3 feet do you use most?
As a fairly new quilter, I am seeking advice on outfitting my sewing machine. Which 3 machine feet do you use most often when piecing and quilting? And is the darning foot (metal jobbie with round hole) essential for FMQ? What about the walking foot? What about the 1/4 inch quilting foot? Applique foot?

The foot I use the most is the 1/4" foot. There are three other feet that I use often. They are the open toe foot, for appliqué, the walking foot, and the Bernina Stitch Regulator foot for FMQ. I have just about every foot made for my machine; but the 4 feet get constant use.

I agree with everyone here, the 1/4" foot with a guide, the walking foot and a hopping foot for FMQ. If I am working on a pattern that requires a scant 1/4" I will just use the regular foot and mark a scant 1/4" mark with masking tape, but not all the time.
