I agree totally! What brand of machine do you have? I have a big Janome which doesn't do FMQ very good (it' gives "whiskers" on the backside). I got a used Bernina last year and it does fantastic FMQ. I heard somewhere that machines with a drop in bobbin don't do FMQ as well as machines with a front loading bobbin and that's proving true for me.
I got wiskers or eyelashes on the back of a recent quilt and had to take it all out. finally figured it was the thread, my machine didn't like it so went back to the thread it likes. Also found that going around a curve you need to slow down the movement of the quilt not your speed. hope this helps
good luck
