I have one w/stitch regulator....pd. under 400 on sale @ a Viking Gallery a couple of yrs. ago.....had trouble with it and decided it was my FMQ that I couldn't do and put it away. Recently, before my shoulder surgery, I took the box out and found a CD on how it worked with lots of tips on the website. DUH, going it alone never works. As soon as my shoulder heals I'm going to give it a whirl again, even though my FMQ hasn't improved; but,I'm going to work on that also. Can't stand having something that I can't operate. I suggest going to Viking Website and watch the video.
