If you had it to do again Rob, would you buy a hopping ruler foot similar to this one?

or this one:

Or one with no spring, like this one?

I do a lot of free motion....both the whole cloth kind (thread painting for example) and on pieced quilts with lots of seams. Is it overkill to get one of each? I have lots of rulers and a ruler foot for my longarm, but no foot for the domestic...yet. I have learned that either of these low shank feet will fit the Eversewns.

Have any of you used a ruler foot on your Eversewn? What were your experiences?

I would really appreciate any and all input.
I have a hopping ruler foot on my Sweet16 that I really like. For my Brother PQ1500s (highshank) I have found the Janome floating fmq with the ruler foot attachment works great and is easy to adjust without unscrewing the foot because it has the thumbscrew that can be used to raise and lower it. My low shank domestics can’t use the Janome foot so I generally use the westalee foot with them. I would definitley check into the hopping ruler feet that you’ve pointed out as an alternative to the westalee since the hopping feet will deal better with bulky seams than a floating foot.
