    By leaving the feed dogs up, doesn't that defeat the idea of "free motion?" Sorry, this almost sound like an oxy-moron of the FMQ process. ;)
    Because the darning foot moves up & down as you sew, you have plenty of freedom to move the quilt.

    Work with me here please :-); they way you have stated it would be a big DUH to many. If you meant to say 'don't forget to lower the feed dogs', makes more sense. Again, work with me; perhaps I missed your point. ;)
    Remember to lower the presser foot is a must. That would be the first thing to think about if you are getting a mess on the back.
