I use my Janome and puddle the quilts also. My FMG is far from wonderful, but I enjoy trying and am so surprised how nice the quilt looks after it is washed. I do need to practice a lot more tho. I told my family I am done with queen sized quilts. Takes too much effort moving the dang thing around to quilt. I am quilting a 54x54 now, and it is a lot easier than a queen. And I am not getting skipped stitches or eyelashes on the back. So far that is.
