It looks to me to be a 'new & improved' version of a hera marker. Assuming you are talking hand quilting and/or applique. I'd have no clue regarding machine quilting as I don't do that. For the price I would be tempted to try it but I know shipping can be an issue with her products. I love her thimbles; not a particular fan of her quilting needles - I find them too bendy for my use.
