It is difficult to give detailed instructions in this small space. Have you searched the web for tutorials for instruction. If you have not done FMQ before as you indicate I suggest you do some research for the basics and then spend a lot of practice before attempting a large quilt. And no, large embroidery hoops are not usully used in FMQ. Sometime they are used by quilters but again it takes knowing the basics and having some skill in the technique.
