I saw one at the MN Quilt Show, in June and bought one. It works slick. You might need to adjust your machine to make it be the same height as the rails ( I just put one of my rotary rulers underneath the machine). It does take practice using it tho. I've learned to fmq on my machine, so this is different. I also have had trouble making round circles, they end up being squarish circles. You also need to have lots more backing to wrap around the rails or can't fmq right up to the edge of your top. A learning curve for sure.
