I bought it, had problems doing applique. Probably because I am not following directions right. I am a "show me" girl, do not follow directions correctly. The quilt shop owner where I bought it, has not played with hers yet. She is going to let me know when she learns how to use hers, then will show me. I think this is a great item for applique, scrap booking, piecing. Cannot wait to learn how to use correctly. I really need to wait to buy new products, I should know better, but you know girls with their toys.
