Congratulations on your machine!! Re: Feed dogs. When I FMQ on the machine that doesn't drop them, I set the stitch length on 0 and haven't had a problem. I used to use the Supreme Slider and then one time forgot about it and didn't notice a difference. Now I don't bother with it.

I have a Janome 3128 also and it is a good value for the money. Some of the other Janome machines Hancock's carry are also worth taking a look at, depending upon what your needs in a machine are. They have very good sales on most all of these machines from time to time.

I really like my Janome portable machines. I have two Jems. My DD bought me one for a gift and didn't know I had just bought one a couple of weeks before. LOL They have never given me any problem and they are used a lot by different people at guild and classes.

My Janome was an Overstock.com special. I paid $60.00 for her and I still use her for jean repair and sewing denim projects.

I read an article that said not dropping the feed dogs will work fine for FMQ but can eventually get the fabric feed out of whack on the machine or something like that messed up. I think it will take a long time for it to mess up but if it is a machine you plan on keeping for a long time I would ask a machine tech first.
