I recently discovered I'm pretty good at straight line quilting so I feel like I can stop stressing about FMQ. I guess I just never thought about it before now but I realize I don't want to send all my tops out to a longarmer. I also have purchased 2 books on straight line quilting and I'm amazed at what you can do with a walking foot!
