Yes. Definitely mark your quilt so you have something to serve as a visual reference. After that, it's just a matter of practice, but as long as you don't make them too tiny, it really isn't that hard to sew a basic curved line with a darning/FMQ foot. On your first attempt, I'd try to match my thread to the background & go with a 50wt thread (although, I didn't take my own advice & used a 40wt and I'm still pretty happy with it). You will miss the line on occasion & probably your stitches won't all be the same size, but it's a learning process & truly from 2' away, no one will notice the size of your stitches (i.e., don't try FMQ for the first time on a quilt you plan to enter in competition).
