Me too; never spent a dime on a tape. Zig zagging works just fine.

Same here - love this! I prefer it over machine zigzag stitching pieces together because the seam's not nearly as noticeable to my fingers (I can feel the machine stitching through the quilt top).

Ditto!

i use the foot that has the center guide and zig zag. While the tape sounds like a good idea I don't want to add that extra expense to batting. Zigging it works find for the small quilts i make.

Thanks for that tip!!!!
