I quilt about 40 hours a week and have a small collection of free motion quilting foots. This is the only one I use, the others are for emergencies only! Where most have visibility issues, this has a large hoop and thin structure so that you can see what's around it. This definitely helps me stitch more accurately. I'm always trying to sway people from their small plastic ones to this one.

I just received this item in the mail and attached it to my Janome 3160QDC machine. It works great! I bought it to use while I did free motion quilting. I had previously tried the different feet that came with my machine, which did not work. I tried free motion quilting without any foot, which I could do somewhat, but the thread would break every few minutes. This foot enables me to sew continuously in any direction without my thread breaking or tangling. It also has a nice, wide viewing area so you can see what you are stitching. I am an amateur when it comes to quilting, but now I feel like I could do a decent job with the stippling stitch and even learn to do some other, more sophisticated stitches. I would highly recommend this foot to anyone interested in learning free motion quilting.Best Deals for Distinctive Large Metal Darning/Free Motion Sewing Machine Presser
I am new to quilting and did not understand how useful this pressure foot would be. I bought a quilting book which explained why this type of pressure foot is essential if your quilting stitches will involve anything other than straight lines. Easy to use, although I would practice a bit on some scrap fabric and batting to get a feel for how to move your fabric. Fits my Brother sewing machine and was less expensive than the Brother model. Plus it is all metal and not plastic/metal like the others. It does squeak (due to the spring) when you sew.Honest reviews on Distinctive Large Metal Darning/Free Motion Sewing Machine Presser
I have successfully used this foot on my two low-shank Singer sewing machines a 165J and a 7057C. It works like a charm on both machines. I am having so much fun, learning to free-motion quilt with this foot.The fabric has a bit of a tight fit on the newer machine (the 7057C), but that may be because I can't lower the feed dogs on that machine, but instead have to cover them with a little plastic plate. It's not difficult, just something to be conscious about.
The stitches came out looking nice, once I fiddled a bit with thread tension. It's easy to see the stitches while the needle is making them. That is one of the reasons I decided on this foot, which has a little metal ring, instead of a solid one made of clear acrylic.
I am just learning to do machine quilting, using this foot, so I don't have anything else to which to compare it. I think it was a good value, and it does what I want it to.
