What is FMQ!
It is short for Free Motion Quilting. You drop the feed dogs on your machine, raise the presser foot, and move the quilt around under an active, threaded needle, by pushing/pulling with your hands. You judge the speed. It is usually an even speed with both machine and quilt. Some people like fast speed with the machine and slow movement with the quilt.
