If any of you gals have this machine can you tell me if it has drop feed, free motion capabilities. Thankyou

Here is the link to the Amazon item with reviews. It comes with a quilting foot (is that a darning foot?) and a walking foot, but I couldn't find anything about feed dogs dropping. I suggest you read the reviews as well. Interesting.

I never dropped the feed dogs on my Brother, I found the tension was better and I FMQed just fine. If you have a quilting or darning foot you will be able to FMQ

On my Brother 350SE the feed dog switch is on the back. Right behind the pressure foot area. Although, I agree with Woody and never drop them.

I have a old brother that's in storage right now. The feed dog doesn't drop. When I got it it had a plastic cover over the feed dog,which I have lost.I hope to find it when I finely get everything unpacked.

I am just checking out machines and I haven't started quilting yet so could you please tell me what FMQed is. Thanks
