To start free-motion quilting on the Juki TL-18QVP, you will need  an  open-toe darning/free-motion foot , which is often included with the machine, along with  quilting gloves   and an   extra set of needles .

Check if your machine came with one, as some models include it. Quilting gloves:  These give you more grip ...
