Mine was built in to my machine, I was sure it would just sit and get dusty, but I have found it to be useful. Would I pay extra for it? No, but I use it daily because it came with the machine. I am almost exclusively a quilter and I use it. I find that I waste less thread.
Just saw your post Madpatter. I have a Phaff Expressions 5.2. I got it on sale late this fall because that model was being discontinued. I have a local dealer and repair shop so I am sure I can get service from those who know my machine.
