You need a walking foot for doing straight quilting lines. A darning foot is used when you start to do free motion designs. When I marked diagonal lines, I also started stitching from the middle of the quilt and worked my way out. I never really cared for those guides on the walking foot so I either marked a quilt with a Hera marker (found at JAF) that makes a slight dent in the fabric that you stitch on and sometimes I used painter's tape, its the blue tape found in the painting supplies. Good Luck. We were ALL beginners at one time!!
