At first glance I liked it. Might solve a problem I have - I love the 1/4" foot but I can't use a single hole plate because I have to move my needle position to get a scan 1/4". This doohickey would give me an "extended" 1/4" guide and I can keep my needle centered with a single hole plate. Plus, my husband has something in his shop that is very similar that I could use cheaply!
Then I noticed something ... this thing is long. Quite long. And to work it will need to be adhered to the base of the machine.
RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF THE BOBBIN COVER!!! (At least on both of my machines)
DOH!!!

Looks to mr like just another gadget to take your money, although it isn't very expensive. It's unbelievable the amount of things people thinkof. I just use my regular foot and move my needle over. I don't even use my 1/4" anymore. I like the way my regulae foot holds the fabric. Good luck.

Also, here is a PDF file I wrote for my 4-H quilters about getting accuracy in measuring, cutting, and piecing.
Sticky strip of five Post-it notes (may need to be taped down) - use a 1/4" lined notecard to place the strip
