I've heard where people buy inexpensive thick see thru plastic by the yard at Joanns or even Home Depot and use it instead. You just have to cut a hole where your foot plate or whatever it is called. Seem so many quilt related items are so expensive when you can find a substitute that works just as well for so much less.

example ... my hubby bought this for me at Harbor Freight, it was on sale I think for $6. Most quilt shops sell something similar for using as a handle on big rulers and charge $15-20
