So u do not have to buy expensive machines to do FMQ?? I have a beautiful Singer and love it but have not tried FMQ yet with it. It has 120 stitches too.
I would certainly try yr Singer before buying an expensive machine. Even if the feed dogs don't drop on them, you can cover them. My theory is the older machines are so much more heavier than the newer ones and is a dream to FM with. I have both old and new machines that I have FM with. I just always go to my old singer to do my FM with these days. I do use a bobbin washer as I find that helps a bunch! Give it a try!
