I have come to the conclusion that some of us are not meant to FMQ much. I have great results with my walking foot and even do some curves with it. I can do quite close meandering, some leaves on a vine, and something I call "coffee beans." Sometimes swirls with loops. I use "Golden Threads Quilting Paper" if I want something particular like a word or a picture. But I have found that sending one or two quilts a year to a long armer for overall FMQ just reduces my stress level tremendously.
