I am FMQ on a 100x100 on my Brothers1500s. I do a section at a time and it is not easy buy I can not afford to send my quilts to a LAQ. Also I s0pray baste my quilts instead of pinning. That makes it lighter and easier to "push" thru the throat. Pinning your quilt really adds to the weight of the quilt and makes it harder to "push" thru the opening.
