WOW, that is one bent needle. In classes, I was taught to find a normal speed on your DSM and watch the rate of speed that the fabric is moving. This isn't fast petal to the metal speed. Try to get to that speed and then move the quilt at the same speed that the feed dogs moved it. Take your time, there is no rushing and breath. As you get more comfortable with practice, then at that point you can gradually increase your speed. But FMQ isn't a race.
