I FMQ on my Janome 4800. I do find that I have to change my tension for FMQing. That you will have to play with on your machine to discover what works best for you. I played around a lot on practice quilt sandwiches. When I first started, I wrote down the setting my tension was set on for regular sewing and also the setting the knob for my foot pressure was on. Didn't want to forget that since it was working as I wanted it to! Then when I found the settings that worked best for me for FMQing, I wrote those down as well. I found I had to up my tension and lower the pressure on my presser foot.
Good luck! :-)
