I also own a Pfaff 7570, and it is included with a walking foot, and I use it with my machine quilting all the time. I use my instruction booklet to remind me how to set tensions and such for correct settings when using my machine for machine quilting.

Does it mean I can just go ahead and quilt with the regular presser foot? I don't have to do anything different? Any advice appreciated.
Didn't you receive a book with your 7570? It would explain how your machine works. A general machine quilting book would not give you the specifics for your particular machine on it's capabilities. You should have a book for your machine and the embroidery unit that goes with it explaining in detail how your machine would work under certain situations. If you don't have them you might try ebay as they have them there sometimes.

No problem Candace....I got confused also not knowing what an 830 was. When Pfaff let go of the rights to the IDT the different companies did copy it but they also changed it from the way Pfaff did it so maybe that is part of the confusion.
