My stitches are a long way from perfect but they keep getting better and I am not finicky. I keep telling myself that I am sure someday I will need it for something. I thought that I would need it for ruler work, nope, thread painting, nope, tiny pebbles, nope. I am keeping it in the drawer by machine for when I figure out just what it is that I need it for.
I kind of feel this way too about the one for my brother dreamweaver. It does make nice stitches, but what happens is if you move too fast or slow down to fast it gets confused and you end up with jerky stitches so you still have to have some sort of consistency in your movements. I have found that the more consistent I am, the less I feel I need it. I have found watching people that have been doing great work for years without one that their stitches are not perfect, but their work still is despite this
