Welcome to the board! I actually bought my 15-91 specifically for FMQ. So far I have FMQed two quilts on it and didn't have any problems. I have been quilting for about 10 years now and I always dreaded shoving quilts through tiny throat spaces on my newer Wal-Mart/ Costco Brother machine. With the 15-91 I loved the whole quilting proccess. I used a 90/14 universal needle, nothing fancy, and set my top tension around 7. I had my bottom tension around the 1 o'clock position. I used 30wt thread and 100% polyester batting. The pressure on the presser foot is adjustable too. Of course yours may be different depending on what loft and fiber content of batting you use. I love my 15-91 and will never quilt again with out it.
