    Great work, have not seen or heard anything about a floating foot for FMQ.

    Yes, I am also wondering what you mean by floating foot for FMQ.

    Congrats and thanks for the tip!

    Your FMQ looks great, I wouldn't have believed that you were just learning it if you hadn't told us.

As far as I know, Pfaff is the only make machines making this type foot. I love my Pfaff but can't get the hang of the Sensormatic so am considering buying the spring action foot.

    I have a Viking Designer 1 and I think that it has a "floating" option on it. My machine does come with a FMQ foot that is not a spring action. And there is a setting for FMQ. I can use either foot on it.

    I also don't know the difference between them. I'm only a year into FMQ.

    Marionsquilts- your work is wonderful!! So glad you found what works for you. Yay!!

    I learned with the floating foot and thought I would do the spring loaded and I think I should go back to the floating as I also seemed to be happier with that. I haven't been wanting to FMQ since using the spring loaded. Thank you for this reminder.
