Free Motion Quilting

I took advantage of a recent Egyptian holiday to start experimenting with free motion quilting.  I've mostly used my walking foot for straight lines so far and tried out several designs with my new darning foot, which curiously enough is actually called a quilting foot by Bernina.  The only difference I can see between the darning foot #9 and quilting foot #29 is that the darning foot has a metal circle end and the quilting foot has a plastic rounded rectangular end.  I guess the plastic makes it easier to see the designs as they're being quilted.

robot/wavy lines

This attempt to do boxy straight lines didn't work as well with the darning foot.  Perhaps it would be better with the walking foot.

meandering lines

loopy lines

I think the loopy lines needed more loops.  Otherwise it started to look like the meandering lines and sometimes the loops started to turn into swirls.  The meandering lines were definitely the easiest once I started to get the hang of it.
