A walking foot makes it sooooo much easier! It moves all the layers at the
same time and it will feed the quilt sandwich so smoothly. You'll love it-
but most of them are a bit noisy- it's just how they work. So don't be
concerned unless it should make a terrible racket. Then get concerned!

I'd say most definitely yes! It will prevent that shifting. You can
probably find a generic one at some place like Nancy's Notions that will fit
your machine.

Well, as close as you like! ;-) But a 'standard' suggestion is the width
of your hand- across your palm. That's an easy measurement without needing
a ruler beside you.

I've read that basting should be no further apart than the width of your
fist, which is about the same thing.
