    I've found some great walking foot quilting ideas from Jacquie Gering's book WALK and she now has a second book called WALK 2.0. Lots of brilliant ideas!

    Sugaridoo has a free ebook, "101 Ideas for Quilting" that are done with a walking foot. You can get the ebook here:

    I, too, have used stencils with my walking foot. I come from a hand quilting background, so lots of stencils here. Most are gently curved enough that the designs are still manageable with a walking foot.

    I'm new to anything other than SID. I have discovered painter's tape in different widths helps as a guide--but don't sew over the tape (didn't know my first time). My machine has a serpentine stitch that I recently fell in love with. It is an automated stitch meant for darning on my old Bernina. I use stitch width 2 of 4 and length is the same, 2 of 4. It makes a nice gentle wave.
    I have used the washable markers to draw stitching lines with my rulers. They didn't come with instructions, so I searched youtube for videos. I like one ruler that makes a spiral pattern...https://www.google.com/search?q=quil...2XyXMGWIbGdGoM

    I used it in the corner on last quilt.
    Here's a pic of serpentine and a spiral that I've done. I will also follow lines in the fabric.

    I second the Jacqui Gering suggestion- in addition to her books, she also has two Craftsy/Bluprint classes that may be available when Craftsy comes back on-line in September. I highly recommend them if you can get them.

    I have both of Jacquie Gering's books and they have great ideas on straight stitching with your walking foot. Check your local library and see if they have them or Leah Day's book, after I checked them out I decided they were worth purchasing.

    Here's a little (36" x 36") quilt I quilted with a walking foot. Hope the quilting shows up for you. First I made a criss-cross, then I echoed the quadrants. It was fun but took some time. Sorry the photo ended up side-ways. Not sure how that happened!

    Jacquie Gering also has some youtube videos that you might find interesting. It will give you an idea of her work before you sign up for blueprint or purchase a book.

    I bought the book Walking Foot Quilting Designs by Melissa Marginet. It has 57 different blocks for the centers of a quilt and 10 patterns for borders. You can get very unique designs by using straight and curvy lines.
