Since I only hand-quilted, but wanted to try machine quilting a few years ago, I bought it for my Brother. At the time I was making mostly queen-size quilts so never attempted to machine quilt-it sat in the package until someone suggested using it for sewing on binding-I would NEVER sew binding now without it! I also made a smaller quilt that I tried SID and it was great! My new Brother has the same walking foot included, so I have a spare-(they are the same)I am now making some smaller quilts and will definately continue using it! It sounds a little funny when you first use it-but you get used to it!
