    I love my 6600. I agree the built in walking foot sometimes gets in the way when doing FMQ, but I have learned to watch for that to happen and it really doesn't cause much of a problem. Marylou

    I have never used a sheet for a quilt back, but my old sheets end up as part of the bedskirt. The fitted ones work great, and the bedskirt stays in one place. Marylou
