I don't like it as much, because the skinny metal prongs will sometimes catch a long thread (oops) and I have to pick out and redo that area. However, I have accidentally folded my quilt over the closed darning foot, and sewing the quilt to the foot is a mistake that is tough to pick out- it took me forever to ensure I wouldn't tear the quilt.

Glad you found what will work for you!
I was so happy to read this is what you do. For some reason, it just feels better knowing another person does this successfully
