Yes I have sewn with it. It works beautiful. Now I am trying to juggle my room to get everything organized. I wanted to sell my Quantum XL as it had some quirks. I had the guy service it and it works better than ever. I can't part with it. Now I am keping my D 1 for embroidery (which I seldom do).
Your suggestions of using Feed-Wax was terrific. Now I am using the rest on my kitchen cabinet.
