Hi, If you are stitching in the ditch lengthen you stitch and check you tension. If you have a darning foot and want to free motion quilt be sure to reduce the pressure on the foot. Hope this helps.. I did not have a walking foot for a long time. It does help whenquilting in the ditch. Hope this helps.

When you say reduce the pressure on the foot do you mean lower the feed dogs?

Use a darning foot or free motion quilting foot and lower the feed dogs to try free motion quilting. You may need some rubber gloves to provide friction to move your quilt around. Try to keep your speed steady and practice on a scrap quilt sandwich until you are confident.
