I used one before I bought my longarm. It worked fine with my Bernina. I also used the Handi Handles with it to control the speed so I didn't have to use the foot peddle. It worked but was limited by the throat size of my Bernina. If you get one try to quilt slowly for better results. I used it for a short time and then decided I absolutly needed more throat space and went looking for my used Tin Lizzie. I still have my HandiQuilter 2 , I 'm thinking my grandaughter might want it someday.
