Sounds like maybe brushes in the foot control. Can take it to a repair shop or look for a replacement foot control.

The feed dogs on my brother sewing machine is not moving the fabric. It will move it if I sew in reverse but not forward. What could the problem be? How can I fix it?

Um. A feed dog pretty much always moves fabric forward. Only time I can think of that it doesn't ...you might need to push down the ...had to go down the hall and retrieve my machine's manual.. Forgot the name of the parts. On top of the left end of your machine, press down on the 'darner'. Knob on the top of that side of any machine. It regulates the pressure on the top thread. It thinks I'm not being clear, but it is 4:30 am.

What is the proper quilting stitch for FMQ

Straight stitch. Doesn't matter what stitch length you set. The stitch length is determined by how fast or slow you move the fabric in conjunction with the sewing speed of the machine. FMQ means that you manually move the fabric, so the feed dogs are disabled and a darning or FMQ presser foot is installed on the machine. The darning or FMQ presser feet have shorter shafts than other feet, which allows space for you to manipulate the fabric.

Search the internet for Free Motion Quilting. There are tons of web sites and videos available.

Does my Brother SQ9185 sew backwards other than the push button backstitch?

Use the reverse button. That's what it is for. Sew forward and then push the button and sew in reverse.

If you have a darning foot, you can use it (drop the feed dogs) and then you manually move the fabric around while stitching.

My machines stitches backward instead of forward.

There is a forward and reverse switch you are missing. If you have a pedal it is a matter of pushing the pedal the right direction.

I just got an old Sears Kenmore Sewing machine model 385.17781. Everything is working fine except the reverse stitch. When the reverse button is pressed, the fabric doesn't move or sometimes movin

it sounds like the feed dogs & the reverse button need to be
checked at a repair shop,
to see why they are not responding to each other.
