I do my own FMQ on my domestic machine. My machine is a 6600 Janome Memory Craft with 9" harp so that extra 3" harp space makes a huge difference. I love doing FMQ. The hard part is getting the quilt, batting and backing together and stabilized on large quilts but is very doable. I took a couple classes on craftsy and learned some good tips for basting a quilt together. I spray baste and then press over the quilt and that really holds it all together. Once I have it on my machine I totally enjoy the quilting process. I do meandering with leaves, hearts, or flowers and when doing a child's quilt, I always quilt the child's name someplace in the quilt and they have to find it. I just finished giving my 6 year old Grandson a quilt and he's so proud of showing everyone where his name is. I know not everyone is comfortable with this process but that's why we have wonderful longarmers out there.
