The only item I hesitated at was with doing stippling. I found it much easier to follow drawn lines when doing FMQ. You learn to drive a car, it really is the same. First, find a speed that you are comfortable with (not fast like on a freeway) that you can feel or hear from your machine. Observe the speed at which the machine moves the fabric at that speed. Then when starting FMQ, hit that speed and try to move the quilt at the same speed that the machine would move it. Try not to stop on curves and look a few inches to where you are going, NOT at where you are. I was lucky to have taken a class from Harriet Hargrave and she improved my FMQ.
