The 15-91 will give you a beautiful stitch for FMQ and piecing (still love my 301s but wanted a bigger heavier machine with the 15-91)..... No kidding..... It's a low-shank and the bobbin is bigger; but still it will use up the thread either way. Purchase the low-shank metal foot from Sewclassics and practice a couple of swatches with your 15-91; you can make any design as big or small with this machine.
I bought my 15-91 from Ebay last month and have FMQ with it on a few projects and have no problems with it.
The feed dogs drop down on it and you don't have to hassel to much with the tension either; go fast...the faster you go, the better the stitching. Mine is in the cabinet with the knee lever/pedal and you don't need a bunch of fancy shmancy equipment for FMQ with your 15-91 Singer (IMHO) :-) all you need is the darning foot/FMQ foot and your creativity.
