I do FMQ on small projects all the time on my Featherweight. Baby blankets, table toppers, pot holders, wall hangings. I do all my piecing on the 221. I have not used my Brothers or Janome since I took the little girl out. I picked one that already had surface damage so I wouldn't feel bad about using it so much. I just love it. Be sure to loosen the pressure foot tension with the screw at the top left of the machine, for easier movement.
