There's a silicone spray for your machine bed that can be purchased from Hancock fabric store and probably some online sites. I lightly spray my machine bed which helps the fabric move much smoother and does not dirty the fabric at all. I also use Machingers gloves to get a good grip on the fabric but there are also other products such as fingertip pads etc. Once you get the right foot and settings on your machine and something to help grip the fabric as you move it, you will be fine. My first attempt wasn't beautiful but I was still so happy that I accomplished FMQ and it's only gotten better since. Good luck to you!!
