Broke Quilt Foot- Do I really need it for QAYG?
I broke my machine foot while working on this quilt as you go block. Do I really need it for 11 inch blocks? Or should I stop and wait for a new one?

The walking foot helps to slide your quilt sandwich evenly thru with out bunching and etc. It can be done without though a little tougher. I would be tempted to try one and make sure it turns out how you would like it.

well you can always stitch with another. you just want to make sure your presser foot isn't pressing down too hard and moving the top fabric. sometimes just using a longer stitch length prevents this. Good luck.

It has been my experience with quilt as you go, and making rag quilts, that a waking foot works much better. When my quilting foot broke, I tried to quilt without it, but learned pretty fast that I didn't like the results, and went out and bought a new one. When working with the sandwiched blocks, the quilting /walking foot feeds through much better, at least on my old machine.
