I,too, found it to be useless. I had much better luck with my 1/4inch foot with guide. The Drunkard's Path pattern that I used came out perfect with the 1/4 inch with guide foot.If the fabric is getting stuffed down into the feed dog's, try a straight stitch plate for your machine. I found that the straight stitch plate really helps. One thing when sewing on a curve, go slowly. About halfway through the block, stop, leave the needle in the fabric,and move the fabric of the block behind the needle. I might not be explaining this very well, but, sewing curves is not hard to do. Good Luck!
