Yes I think its worth it. It really helps to keep the fabric from going down into the larger opening of the regular plate. Some fabrics just go into that plate opening more than others. I found starching helps when using a regular plate. My only issue is remembering I have that special plate on .. and not moving the needle from the center or trying to zig zag.

I have one for my Bernina 1230 but never use it, as I need to move the needle over one position to get a scant 1/4" seam allowance. Also, I broke my needle too many times using it (by selecting a stitch other than centered straight stitch).

Yes, I do have one and use it all the time. I'm able to set my machine to recognize that I have that plate on so I don't have issues with needle breakage. I really like that plate for straight stitching.
