    had my babylock for a few years and never tried it...finally did use it but it was to make a bisquit quilt with 525 squares...boy did my hip hurt. i still use it. it's the best thing for paper piecing you can use 2 hands to hold the fabric.

    Yes you're right, that was my original question.

    Glad to read that you use yours. :D
