I was just at a lecture/demonstration by Sue Nickels in May. She is great! I got so much from her lecture and demo. I can hardly wait to finish up my WIP's so I can start an applique piece using her raw edge technique that really doesn't leave any obvious raw edges.
Cminor - good luck with your FMQ. Sounds like you are motivated and have made a great start. I have only done a little and that was with my Bernina Stitch regulator, but I have been encouraged by the results. I do know that practice is the key!
