Actually I use the Sharon Schamber foot more often then the modified Juki foot. The Sharon S. foot is smaller, and for me, it's easier to see where I'm going. You can raise and lower the Sharon S. foot manually to accommodate your sandwich height. I think I paid something like $30 for it, and I feel that it's worth every penny. I haven't really used the modified Juki foot that much lately. I do use the
non-modified Juki foot occasionally, when I'm quilting a project with lots of intersecting seams. With those projects, the hopping foot seems to work better, even though it's rather large and noisy.
