What causes eyelashes while quilting?

Can I use a regular presser foot for quilting?
If you tried to use a regular presser foot (like the 1/4″ foot) to quilt with, you’d find that the presser foot pushes the top layer of your quilt ahead of the foot. The result would be a lot of tucks and uneven stitches in your quilt. Not good.

Can you straight-line quilting without a walking foot?
Straight line quilting can be done without a walking foot, but in my experience, things go a lot more smoothly with one. It has built-in feed dogs that help move the top layers of fabric through your machine, while your machine’s own feed dogs move the bottom layers through.
What stitch length should I use for machine quilting?
For straight stitching, it is advised to set your machine’s stitch length to 2.5 to 3.0 or about 8-12 stitches per inch. This range works quite well for a majority of machine quilting but there are always exceptions when you make a rule. For threads with sparkle or shine, use a longer stitch length.
