Ditto to all of the above! I also use it when piecing bulky things, purses, wallets, etc. I use it for bindings. I use it when using decorative stitches that only go forward, such as the serpentine stitch. Before I bought it, I always tied my quilts because I hated the puckers in the back I got w/o the foot. It is the best accessory to invest in!!!
