Thank you! I hope you will try it. The hoop makes it a lot easier IMO. Here are a couple ideas for your tension issue.
I used to teach free motion quilting and embroidery for a few years, and one of the most common mistakes was forgetting to put the foot down. I know that it seems like a mistake no one would make, but the darning foot looks very similar up vs. down, so people often forget to put it down. If this happens your underside will look bad.
Another thing is that you often have to adjust your tension differently for free motion.
