    Can you tell me what free motion quilting foot you are using? I have a BabyLock symphony. I have the quilting foot (what I call the hopper foot) as well as the darning foot but I really like the look of this one. I don’t like the up/down motion of the hopper foot and would like to try this one if it’s compatible for my machine.
