I too have a Performance 5.0 and absolutely love it. I used the curved stitch to quilt waves in a sailboat block. I was only doing about 9 inches at a time so it wasn't very hard to just keep it steady with my hands. For doing a long border, I think you would need to stop and re-position the bulk of the quilt fairly often, because the weight of the quilt itself will want to pull it off line. I likethe idea for painters tape or something similar, to use as a wide guide in the harp of the machine. Much easier to see than chalk or pins I would think.
Mitch's Mom--will have to check out that foot. Thanks!
