I have not yet tried FMQ with my Featherweight, and just recently bought a 15 "clone" & have yet to take it for a FMQ test drive.
It is true that machines with the horizontal bobbin cases don't FM as well as the vertical ones, however, my Singer 66 and Singer 201'2's do a great job and they both have the horizontal bobbin case...go figure! Your 15 Clone machine should be really good for FMQ.
