i have a brother with a fmq setting just push the button I use a floating foot but I can fmq with the feed dogs up or down with a hopping foot and i also started using the piecing setting following the edge of my foot which is 5.5 on my machine have the machine for 10 yrs never used that setting now I love it I don't use my quarter inch foot anymore and if I need a scant 1/4 I just set it on number to the right 6.0 something I can't do with the 1/4 inch piecing foot. sewing machines have come a long way the machines brother and babylock just released are supposed to be way over the top mostly focusing on the embroidery. i do like the features on my computerized machine but don't have any desire to get a newer machine right now.
