Meandering is FMQ. So is stippling (smaller loops, etc., than meandering ... much more dense stitching) and, in fact, any design that you create while your machine feed dogs are down and you are guiding the machine while it stitches is FMQ. Flowers, leaves, feathers ... all take practice but can be done free motion. I can do meandering and stippling and simple leaves & vines o.k., but if I try to FMQ anything very complex, it looks like I'm high on drugs and/or booze ... it is quite frightening looking and not at all attractive.
