Walking feet aren't complete necessary, but they sure do make life easier!
How I wish I would have had and known about walking feet back when I was
making down coats from Frostline kits. My sewing life sure would have been
easier then!

You need to really, really, really baste your quilt well.

I've been basting with safety pins. How close would they have to be, do
you think?

About a 4 inch grid. Pretty close but it will really keep things from
shifting.

Also, a walking foot (or integrated dual feed that some Pfaffs have) can
be used for many, many more things than straight lines. Without having
to turn the quilt in circles and drive yourself crazy you can do all
manner of continuous line patterns like cables with curves and pivots.
Don't limit yourself! ;-)
