I did a search of the archives on the Inspira Fab-U-Motion Fabric Mover and I think I am more than confused. In the video they show a small piece of fabric and it makes it look so easy to FMQ. But in the archives I see some criticism about trying to FMQ a bed size quilt. If I were to get this (found a very good price online) I would be using it mostly for quilts that would measure 50" square or smaller. If you have the Inspira Fab-U-Motion Fabric Mover can you give me the pros and cons (before I spend my $$$s.)

Also available (again very good price) is the Inspira Fab-U-Motion Fabric Mover with Stitch Regulator. I have to call the company to find out if they have an adapter for my machine. If the adapter is available is this worth the extra $$$s.

I really need the expertise of the board to tell me if you would buy it again and do you use it regularly?

Merry Christmas to all,

Sunnie

Never heard of it but will follow along for comments. Good luck.

I don't find them useful. Control the quilt with your hands. I find them limited in moving the quilt around. Keeps having to readjust and place.

I have one with stitch regulator and I love it. I've had it for several years and have used it every couple months. I've done many lap size quilts and a queen size quilt with it. The quilting "window" is about 7" x 9" so you do have to keep adjusting the quilt as you move along, but I find it gives me much better control when moving the quilt around the quilting design. I also think the stitch regulator is helpful to me. Altho, lately, mine hasn't been working correctly. I think one of the sensors is going bad.

Sold mine with regulater after first small project. Worked at store that sold them. since I showed them bought one. Space very small to quilt in. Like to do free motion on my own even though not that good at it yet.

I have a Fabric Mover for my Viking Sapphire. I've had it for 2 years and used it about 3 hours total. Hate it!! The quilting area is about 9 x 8 or so then you have to move the quilt again then again. I cannot FMQ; thought this would help--nope!! Very limited in area. I see others have had success with theirs. Mine is under the bed--I stub my toes on it every night to remind myself that I don't need every gadget that comes along LOL. I don't know where Morgantown Pa is but if you're near me, you're welcome to come try mine (if I can figure out how to put it on the machine after all this time). It does have a stitch regulator.
Please try it out for yourself before you commit to the purchase. I watched all the videos and the lady was smiling and having a great time. Not me--the air was blue with cuss words when I tried it!!

I agree. Mine has the stitch regulator and I never could get the hang of it. I finally just committed to practicing free motion and I find that much easier and my results much nicer.
