Default LAQ..Do you use micro handles?

After looking at all the gorgeous quilting here on the board, I'm wondering if any of you use the micro handles? I just don't seem to have enough control with the other handles. I'm still learning, so any help is appreciated.

Yes, I do. Though it does depend on what I am quilting if I use them or not.

I have the handles and use them all the time. Even if I am no doing micro I find those handles make my work more accurate so I use them. I debated for a couple of days about buying them and now I am really thankful.

Thanks for all the info everyone. I was hoping someone would say what ka9sdn did about them making stitching more accurate. I"m going to order them now.
