I love it too just for the same reason. I like the way it shows off the piecing too. Just wish you could see the stitching on the front as well as the back. My last one I SID I used a variegated on a black back and the pattern I chose was nice on the back so two goals reached. Made the pieces stand out and showed up beautifully on back. I don't use a SID foot. Never had one, but then again, I am a hand stitcher up until now. I am doing a machine quilt next. Good post. Can't wait to read more.
