pinkCastleDH,

OK, I found MUV's comment about FMQ with long bobbin machines:

The needle will be pulled to the side and come crashing down on the foot, and it will be goodbye needle.

You will be fine with straight line quilting, but you will probably need to experiment a bit with different feet.

Hope this helps a bit.
