For me, it felt awkward at first. But like anything else, the more you do it, the easier it is. I have most trouble with the circle ones. There's always a place that's awkward when coming back around on the circle.

I think you'll enjoy it.

It really is easy to do. I had to do some ripping on mine because I wasn't paying attention.

I purchased the Westalee set this spring but since I don't get much time to sew during the summer months, I have only done a little test drive with them...I think they will be fun. Good luck Pudge.

I'm unfamiliar with this.
Do you need a special foot with this ruler?
I have a Juki 2010Q

Yes to SusieQOH, you do need a special foot that is taller so it doesn't sew over the foot. I too have the 2010 and love it.

How long is the learning curve?

I took the plunge. Here is a great website https://www.punchwithjudy.com.au/sho...ies-and-tools/. With the exchange rate I got the foot, basic ruler set AND a forever access complete video ruler course for under $100. Check it out.

SusieQOH - here is a link to the Juki TL Ruler Foot - according to my local Juki Dealer (and the Juki website) it fits all Juki TL machines. I just bought the newer Juki TL Echo foot and plan to use it this weekend.

Hope that helps -
