YES! I do it all the time, no marking, just freehand. I started with the Sally Terry Hooked on Feathers technique with no backtracking http://www.amazon.com/Hooked-Feather...1965461&sr=8-3 , but now (after practice!)do all kinds.
Freehand, no marking, domestic machine!

Hope this is the correct picture.
