I have the same machine and i have not done the FMQ and going to to but still same thing trying to get used of my machine and all it can do. I like the 1/4 inch Accufeed foot that i purchased for it for quilting better than the 1/4 foot that came with my machine. Great for piecing and material feed through nice. Would not sew without it . So if you can let me know if you find out the secret to FMP let me know as i want to try it on mine . I had a fast run down on my machine the day i got it and the dealer is there any time i want lessons or ad questions .
