Thread: Bailey Stitch regulator and ramblings

Has anyone purchased the Bailey stitch regulator? I'm hoping to get one sometime in Feb. We have the Bailye 15" with the Gracie 2 frame. It works for us. I'm a Babylock user and recently saw their new long-arm quilter, Jewel. Wonderful but way out of my budget range, and probably always will be. I do quilting only for myself. To pay that much I would have to do it for a living. I have found that when I take a hobby and try to make it a business it begins to be a "job" and not a hobby. I'll continue with my day time job and leave quilting for therapy. (Belive it or not quilting is a stress releaser for me.) I like the more challenging patterns, they make me think. I just finished a top for my son and he wanted just squares. I made it but it was a boring quilt to make. I'm going to make the quilting part a little more interesting than the piecing was. I'm getting off the subject. This thread was about a stitch regulator.

I just got my sew control stitch regulator, I got it way before I expected. I just put the parts on the sewing machine tonight, now what I have to do is put the sensors on the quilting frame carriage. My husband helped me, we plan to do it tomorrow. It looks like I will have to take my frame apart to do this, there is no other way to take that carriage off of there. I put the frame together myself so I know how it comes off. I have directions on how to reset the minimun stitching speed. It's called the Advanced Operation at the end of the directions. I'm anxious to see how it works. I have a new joy quilting frame, if I was buying one today, I would buy a different quilting frame. It's not as wide as I would like to have it and not as much quilting space as I would like to have in the other directions. I got it and I just have to deal with it now.
