As long as you have a ruler base on your machine I haven't found any difficulty using the Versa Tool, or any other ruler. Some take a little practice to get your hands/ coordination right at first. It depends on what kind of quilting you want a ruler for. The line tamer if you plan to do a lot of stitch in the ditch. HQ offers many different rulers. I seldom do SID, I love my HQ Wave rulers.
