This is so interesting! I looked at her website FAQs after reading your post. I had seen her website before, with the FMQ tutorials. Amazing! Anyway, her FAQs said that she doesn't drop the feed dogs for FMQ, so I decided to try that out today. I couldn't see how that would work, when going side to side and every which way, but I know she moves 360 degrees in a lot of her designs. I tested it out, and I do feel like it has helped me to have a more even stitch, no matter which direction I'm going. I think it's because the feed dogs do drop briefly as part of their normal movement, and so that is somewhat regulating the speed at which I'm moving the quilt sandwich. My stitches still aren't perfectly even, but I had fewer that were so bad that I had to pull them out.
