I bought the Handi Quilter Versa Tool to use with my Juki TL2010q. It's small and has a straight edge, and curved edges. It will take practice to get the hang of holding the ruler still and moving the quilt, but I was happy with the little bit I did try it.

The FMQ feet on the Juki are very thin and slid under the ruler. I searched for a taller ruler foot, but found they were very expensive. I came across a site that said they would modify my existing foot for $35, but when I contacted them, they said they discontinued doing that and only sold the ready made ones for $75. I almost talked myself into buying one, but their website was down to be revamped. Upon further searching, I came across a couple of blogs that showed how to modify my own. I didn't save the links (stupid, I know), but I had a picture and took my foot and the picture to Home Depot and found stuff to try and modify it myself. What I ended up with was a nylon spacers and superglue. The cylinder was the perfect size. The only thing I don't care for is the center is smaller than I'd like, so the visibility when you stop/start is harder. But I am still glad I did it. I just need more practice to get it just right. Oh, cost me under $3.00 to modify it.

Here are some links:
