That is sort of dependent on what year your machine is. The foot that all machines come with is a "ruler foot", but the older models don't have a true 1/4 inch foot. There is a weld at the back of the foot which makes the distance from the needle to the back of the foot more than 1/4 inch away. If your machine is a newer model the feet are able to be changed. If you have an older model and you want a true 1/4 foot, you can purchase a kit with a new shaft and foot.

The quilter probably floats the tops, and the markers are used to keep the a piecing lines straight. There are various methods of doing this. Below is a commercial version of the same thing.

13" pantos versus 8-9" pantos
Gail O replied to MaggiS's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
The more dense the quilting, the flatter and stiffer the quilt. But that is also subject to the kind of batting used. Cotton batting will be much flatter than wool or poly; one batt will be flatter than a combination of two batts. Just make sure you have enough throat space to comfortably stitch a bigger panto, and that the enlarged panto will still secure the quilt. -
Good looking and useful . . . . clamp supports and DH.

Marking tools for FMQ designs
Gail O replied to DazzleD's topic in Ask The Expert - How Should I Quilt This...?
Whatever marker you choose may become embedded in cotton quilting thread. A soft toothbrush and a spritz of water will remove most. This is usually not a problem with polyester threads. -
Some people are just not "quilt worthy".

Can I remove my quilt top roller
Gail O replied to Gigi59's topic in Machine Position-Table Adjustments
Can you raise the quilt top bar so that the ruler base doesn't knock into it. If that isn't to your liking, you will have to replace the braking system if you remove it. -
Jaw dropping_ingly gorgeous!

Quilting a Bargello
Gail O replied to Chrissie Devinney's topic in Ask The Expert - How Should I Quilt This...?
It might be easier if you loaded so that the waves/wavy lines will be going across the quilt and not top to bottom. The middle pic, make the left corner the top left when you load. If you plan an rolling back and forth, you need to pin baste (pins no more than a hand width apart) or sew baste the whole thing. After you have basted the whole thing, you can SID the narrow border as you advance; start in the middle at the top and go left or right and down as far as your work space will allow. If it makes things easier, trim your batting, leaving at least 4 inches extra on all sides. You got this. -
