if it helps any, do a good search on quilting on domestic machines....(I love that word DOMESTIC...like it wears a little apron and vacuums and dust....)...I was greatly encouraged by wonderful blogs and a you-can-do-it attitude these FMQers have.

I've done 2 baby quilts and a sofa throw size quilt - and each time got better....

And there's no really one BEST way to do it - other than I did discover that rolling the quilt (even tightly) to the right of your needle does not work for me. The ole scrunch and crunch and start FMQing works. Oh yes - did find that starching the backing and then sandwiching the quilt made a HUGE difference. Less TEXTURING (lol - my word) on the backing resulted.

YES..you can do it. The more you FMQ the better you'll get....
