It was used and I have had it for a couple of years without being sucessful at using it. I contacted the company that made it and it is expensive to fix. It has been owned by several people that gave up on it. so..I thought maybe I could learn to stitch without it....maybe..

I have found that if there is a dust or something on the rollers that the stitch regulator it will skip stitches. Watch where it starts to skip. stop the machine and look at it. Notice if it is when you are going right and left or up and down. I clean the rails as part or my routine every night and don't have many problems.

I started on my frame with out a regulator... It can be done. It is very difficult in turning the corners. you do not realize your speed when you are doing a curve. I had a very difficult time getting even stitches.. and yes you have to have your machine fast to get the best movement, or at least i did. I had lots of loopy stuff from the bobbin from the direction ... when moving backwards to the way the machine was made to sew, I would end up with loops on the back. I could not ever seem to get away from the loops. I have a regulator now and it is like night and day. No loopy stuff on back and stitches are more uniform. I would not go back to sewing on the frame with out a regulator.
