That is what I have been reading too Shirley. I use the walking foot for the SITD stitching, and the embroidery for the stippling... but I have been watching YouTUbe videos and have seem some use the walking for stippling so I was just wondering why. THat foot is so big and "in the way" kind of..that I wouldn't think it'd do so well for FMQ, but they were using it!
