I was a hand-quilter who had been out of practice for oh.. 10 years.. and searched the internet for tips. Prior to that, I thought you had to have a long-arm (but I didn't know what it was called or anything) to machine quilt. I found Leah Day's You Tube site and was tickled to find that you could quilt on a sewing machine! I didn't even HAVE a sewing machine, but I knew I could get one!
I practiced on a very tiny Singer that was actually very good at FMQ, so it gave me a lot of confidence. I took a class on Craftsy for $20 and it was worth every penny. I have moved up in sewing machines, but some are better at FMQ than others. I don't use any other special equipment. I put a drop of glycerin on my hands instead of wearing gloves.
Just have fun with it. It won't look great right out of the gate. I have "mastered" a few fillers and use them the most. My quilts are for family, not for show, but I love making them!!
