I ship my patterns, which are much larger than a FQ, using 1st class mail all the time. I use a 6x9" envelope. Anything up to 6 1/8" x 11 1/2" x 1/4" ships for the same price, depending on the weight. A #10 is only 4 1/8" x 9 1/2". Try using a larger envelope and you will be able to ship a FQ easily. If I were doing so, I would also put it in a plastic zip-lock, forcing the air out of the zip-lock first.
