I agree with this one. It depends on your machine and how it is designed. I have a Viking Ruby and I go in and tell it which of the two FMQ options I want to use and that's it. It sets things the way it needs to be. I took a class for it to make sure I understood since there is so much debate out there. I was impressed by my first try. The size of the stitches were all on me and if you looked at my sample you could see that depending on my speed of moving the fabric and the speed of the machine.
