This magnetic seam guide grips extremely well and fit my need perfectly. However I very recently purchased another sewing machine, one that's computerized. One should not use anything magnetic in proximity to computerized machines. If I sell the older machine someone else will reap the benefits of this guide.

A magnetic should never be placed near the main board or the LCD screen. A strong magnet should never be used. I'm assuming that the Dritz magnetic seam guide will not be too strong; and now I have to buy another one. I hope this is helpful info. UPDATE 5/20/14: Since my original review the idea of seam guides has apparently come to the attention of sewing machine accessory manufacturers because there are a lot more of them to be found now. I was checking out on YouTube how to use some of the newer ones and came across a video titled "Using a Plastic Ruler as Seam Guide." Wow! Why didn't I think of that?
