Humm, yes ! You are totally right !! I don't thought about this point because I have the habitude to solder these package with normal soldering iron. I will build the controller I talk about next week, I will try to post a video to explain how to solder easily a qfp package.
The other possibility is to provide the pcb with the microcontroller already soldered, or provide the microcontroller on a small piece of pcb to convert it to a "DIP" package.

But the FOC library provided by ST is really really nice, all the job is done, the application just have to use high level API to control the library and run the motor !
