I do both. I consider myself an intermediate in FMQ. I can't stay that I find it relaxing and probably never will :-) You do not have to free motion in order to be a good quilt-maker. Straight line quilting is fine and looks terrific on quilts. I think it is the fact that a lot of quilters have their quilts finished by a long arm it has changed how we think finished quilts should look. I know I struggle with this mightily. Remember quilting is a fun creative outlet. Do what you are comfortable with. Most who see your quilts who are not quilters are going to be amazed at your skill and creativity.
