I have used it a little bit with a straight-line ruler. Just be aware that these are NOT the thin cutting rulers. These are 1/4" thick rulers you need to keep the hopping foot to jump the ruler edge. With the thin ones you could jump the ruler and bust your needle.
My machine has a large throat space and table so working with rulers is doable. It does take patience and practice to hold the ruler steady and move the quilt WITH the ruler.
