I had a lot of problems until I bought my Juki 2200 QVP Mini (same as TL2010) with the larger throat space. I've done a king size quilt on it with none of the problems of stuffing the quilt under the throat space. I also took an online class a few years ago for FMQ with RaNae Merrill called Free Motion Mastery which helped me a great deal. Now I really enjoy it.
