Shanna Edinburgh My dream machine too. I figure I've got about 10 good years of sewing/quilting ahead of me and I've decided to get this one. May as well, right?
I find that as my quilts are double size and I'm using a domestic sewing machine, the weight of the quilt has a tendency to drag the quilt slightly off the intended line, and as I use the spacer attachment on the walking foot, after a few slightly off lines, I end up having to make one line with less space to adjust it again, any tips how to avoid this?
The key is supporting the weight of the quilt so it's not falling off the table. If you can move your machine to the lower right hand side of your table, that will maximize the amount of table support you have. You can also adjust an ironing board to table height or stack up some storage totes to give you some additional support. (But sometimes it's just a struggle and you have to adjust your lines a bit! Once it's washed, you'll barely notice.)
It depends on the walking foot. The one shown has a metal piece on top of the hole that makes the bar fit snugly. Some have screws to tighten the bar so you just have to check your particular foot.

Thank you I do my home sewing machine to do my quilting
What stitch length did you use
It would be helpful to show how you manage the sides of the quilt when you're stiyching those long diagonals.

I thought that was very nice😎
I love the quilt pattern, what is it called and is it available to purchase
Which pattern were you looking for, Tammy?
How do you secure the bar so it doesn't slide around?
