It has always surprised me that this type of foot is called a SITD foot. It's not for SITD over a quilt sandwich - you would need to use a walking foot so the fabric feeds evenly (as others have already mentioned). It would be incredible if they could make walking feet with some kind of "guide blade" like this. I would buy one in a heartbeat!
I do have one of these feet and use them for straight line stitching while piecing. They are wonderful for that.

I have a Pfaff 7550 (about 15 years old) just upgraded to a Pfaff 2.0. I have all the feet but just can't get used to the SID foot, just my eyesight. So I have been using an Open Toed Applique Foot, (for years) I can see exactly where that stitich is going. Of course it does help if you have the built in IDT.
If you want to have a practice you can try increasing your stitch length, sometimes this helps if you don't have a walking foot.

Same here. I have one for my Janome 9000 & keep going back to the walking foot
