This intrigues me and I've just spent the last 15 minutes researching it! Do you use it for piecing as well? A lot of the articles say it's good for piecing, but for me to use my 1/4 inch foot I have to move my needle several spots....I wouldn't be able to do that with a straight stitch plate. But if it makes my free motion better, it might be a good investment just for that! Thanks for the tip!
