can you get a kenmore computerized to do FMQ?
I got a Kenmore digital from sears.Great warenty and I used a gift card. However I have read the manual cover to cover bought the special foot and I can't get the feed dog low enough! Does anyone have some advice?

What's your model number? I have a Kenmore Ergo3 model 190002. On my machine, I find I do not need to drop the feed dogs or cover them. With the darning foot, I can do free motion quilting with no problems.

the "darning" foot is essential because it has a spring on the shaft which helps keep the fabric in place the split second the needle is in the fabric. no broken needles that way. have fun!
