I think you either love it or hate it..I did my first one last year..once I got into a rhythm I was fine..however, a member of my quilt group does it all the time and swears by it..I still think it's not my perferred way..unless I was making something with real sharp points or small..I found having to take out all the paper a pain and time consuming..hang in there..sure you can get it..good luck!!
