Okay, I'll admit it. All four of my UFOs ONLY need to be quilted. Literally. All four have the binding already sewn on. One of them only needs the FMQ on the border. I only learned to FMQ about a year ago and only actually did any FMQ on a "real quilt" versus just a practice sandwich a few months ago. .......

Sometimes just changing the presser foot can cause a problem. If you went from one darning foot to another, say, for greater visibility, try going back to the original foot.
The reason you don't want to trim your quilts before FMQ is so you have something to hold onto when stitching, especially if you are quilting out to the edge.
