How do you do FMQ on these babies? That seems like my old bones would jostle outta whack? (I'm seeing disco dancing in my seat as a better visual haa haa)
That machine would be hard to FMQ on but it is possible if you put a card or something over the feed dogs and take the tension off of the presserfoot and you should be able to do it. I use a model 15 to FMQ on.
