Yes, I use a Supreme Slider, and it does make a noticable difference for me.

No, I'm not using a twin needle. I do an echo stitch on the outside of the feather to get back to the beginning instead of following the spine back down. (Another technique I learned from Sharon Schamber videos.)

Awesome and beautiful quilting! You give all quilters who can't afford a LA the confidence of being able to do FMQ on their domestic machines :thumbup:
