Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Free Motion Assistant 7x9" Quilters Cruise Control Stitch Regulator(Viking Fab U Motion Fabric Mover)
Has anyone out there used the fabric mover? I was thinking of purchasing but don't want to spend the money if it isn't worth it.
I tried searcing for reviews but haven't had much luck. By watching the video it looks like it would be excellent.
TIA for any reviews.

Me personally think you are better off saving your money and practicing. Many people think stitch regulators will automatically make them better FMQ but that just isn't so. There is nothing that practice won't help and with all the tutorials out there, I would spend my money on fabric. You can get a nice machine for the price of that thing. maybe try that Quilt along with sewcalgal to improve your FMQ skills. You can get machingers and a slider for about 30 bucks and believe me those really help. I have not tried the bobbin washer yet though so can't comment (http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com/p/free...challenge.html)
My setup is a strait stitch 9 in throat machine on a long arm frame. I paid $500 for a stitch regulator and it does help alot.
Just wish I could afford a long arm machine but this will just have to do. Cannot do block designs since the space to quilt is only about 4 inchs.
I am sure that you can do free motion quilting without the added cost of this fabric mover. It does take some practice and if you can take a few classes it would be money better spent. This is my opnion only.
What is a fabric mover?

It is a large attachment to your machine with a square hole that you stitch inside of. You move the attachment and it moves the hole around as you stitch the section inside the hole. It is not well liked and they have lowered the price on it.
Had not heard that it was still available.
