The Juki 2010 looks a lot like the Brother 1500PQ. I use the Brother for my FMQ. I put my feed dogs up at the first mark, which is just a bit higher than if they were down. I find that it helps me "meter" my stitching, giving me a better idea of the rhythm because I can see when the they go up. Also, I was skipping a bunch of stitches when they were down. I wasn't catching the bobbin thread. You may also want to try a stretch needle, which is blunter. You "feel" it popping through the fabric and that's really helped me. I learned both of these techniques on the Yahoo website for my machine.
