I did my first FMQ - Twin size on my singer and loved it so much I bought the Jamone 7700. Gloves are key. I could not find mine the other day and just wanted to get my quilt done. It was hard to move the quilt to make smooth curves with out the gloves. I also started to keep up my dogfeeds and do not cover them, I find that I have no tension issues by doing that. I do use a darning foot. It takes pratice...doodle on paper as much as you can...drawing curves. It really helps when you do it later on your machine. I only spray baste with 505 and never pin baste. I have never had a problem with puckering. I do not roll my quilt since it gets to bulkly. I just move it so I can get it in the machine and fan fold my fabric if needed. You will love it once you get use to it. If you make error once you wash it you really can not see them once the fabric crinkles. I find Warm and natural is the easiest to use when FMQ'ng - Good luck you will do fine.
