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.
Thanks for the advise on FMQ, I need to keep that in mind once I perfect controlling the material. I have a small Brother SE 400 which I purchased just to learn to machine quilt. I've always hand quilted before.
