I have had my nonstitch regulated Gammill machine 10 years. I was lucky, the guy who set up my machine had it so very level. with no binding, ran so smooth that I was able to stitch evenly from the beginning. I tried to stitch on a stitch regulated Gammill but was so frustrated - it would not start stitching until I started moving it. If a person would take a ruler and measure my stitches, I'm sure they would not be all the same size. But without measuring them they look very nice and even. Several quilts that I have quilted have taken blue ribbons and Best Machine Quilting so I certainly don't worry about the length of stitches. I just relax and stitch.
