You do such beautiful work with yours, too!

A few months ago I added the original True Stitch regulator (also bought used), but found that although it gives me very nice regulated stitches when I am doing something that needs that kind of precision, it’s a bit of a pain when working on large quilts with rulers as it gets in the way.
That's kind of what I thought, watching it in action.
I decided to upgrade to the new table and am expecting it to come in on Wed. So I’ll post an update this weekend after I’ve gotten it installed and played with it a bit.
That will be wonderful! Looking forward to it!

Working with stitch regulation takes some getting used to if you’ve quilted for a number of years without it
I'm sure there'll be some of this old dog learning new tricks if I do this.
Stitch regulation will not overcome tension issues.
I know that's right! Because of having so many machines, I
can usually sort out tension issues pretty quickly.

Thanks so much for your input - best of luck with your new table - I'm sure you're going to catch on very quickly.
