Some have taken out the feed dogs (two screws under the feed dog plate) when they are set up for FMQ more permanently. It's easy to put them back in. Make sure the felt or rubber feet under the base is in good condition, it makes it all more stable and less noisy. I cant' think of anything else at the moment, I guess it requires a bit of test sewing and fine tuning before you can start.
