I agree. There is no FMQ without a darning foot. Also need to make sure to set your Stitch Length to 0. After that, it should be easy to move fabric, but getting even stitches is a whole 'nother problem. I'd suggest buying a yard or two of practice fabric and some batting for that so you can practice FMQ without worrying about ruining your quilt top. FMQ does not come instantly. It takes about 8 hours of practice to get the movements down.
