Theold belt driven Singers are wonderful for FMQ. They are heavy and don't have plastic gears to break like the newer machines and are less than $100.00. I have a big Janome, a Pfaff, a Brother with the big arm, a Singer FW for piecing but its the old reliable Singer black monster that does my FMQ. I have one that the feed dogs drop and a bigger head that I put a plastic plate over the feed dogs and it is great mainly because i won't move around on me as I do a big quilt.
