Check out the Westalee ruler site also. I have a Bernina so my machine needs their foot but there are generic ruler feet for other brands. As for which to learn first....some people find ruler work easier then FMQ. You are following a defined path so all you need to concentrate on is moving the quilt at a steady pace. I recommend Machinger gloves to get a better grip and get the sticky tape that goes on the bottom of the rulers.
