I have the inexpensive Dritz also and it works fine. THe only thing is my eyes aren't what they used to be so I just ordered one yesterday that is lighted. No ratings on it so I don't know what it will work but was 50% off and very affordable.

By the way, all joann.com notions are 50% off (other things on sale too) so I stocked up on 505 spray and got a couple of other things. Free shipping with $35 order with code AMB210.
