That makes two of us! But I'm feeling really happy at the moment, because I've just done some pretty good FMQ on my 201. I was having problems with loops underneath, but when I moved from a small practice piece to a bigger one with a lower loft batting, it all suddenly came right. I'm using gloves and a SuperSlider, because without them it was really hard to keep the fabric moving smoothly. My stitch size is still quite variable, because I'm not yet used to controlling the speed just from the foot pedal, but the tension is OK, which for me is the main battle won!
