I do know that if I don't use those specific settings, I have problems.
There is a setting to switch over to FMQing on my machine. When choosing that setting, the free motion quilting foot will show up on the screen, and the stitch length automatically goes to 0.
On my last trial, I did not lower the feed dogs or change to that setting, I just adjusted the stitch length to 0. But will probably experiment more still, and compare between dropping the feed dogs or leaving up, with different variations of choosing that particular setting (versus straight stitch setting and lowering the stitch length to 0).
All in all I have been quite pleased with my machine!
