I have an old Viking that I used for free motion and struggled until....I dropped the feed dogs. Oh, Duh on me. After than it is just practice, practice, practice. Try the gloves, some folks like them others do not. Watch videos of FM using any machine. The hints and cues are invaluable.
Do you have the owner's manual. That will also give you help so your machine is ready to work for you. If you don't have the manual, most are available online. Happy FM quilting.
