I've said it a few times lately - a lot of things that are opinion are sold as fact. Just because one or a few people can't do something, doesn't mean it's impossible. Also, a lot of things have changed with the machines over the years. The basic mechanism of making a stitch hasn't changed appreciably but thread has, as has thread handling. It's possible part of the problem with FMQ on a horizontal bobbin machine comes from the thread delivery and the change of stack wound thread to cross wound thread for that matter.
