The idea with a stitch regulator is that it goes faster or slower as you go faster or slower with your machine, so it makes the stitches more uniform and even. Especially on my regular machine, I have difficulties with moving it at the same speed. This way, when I lurch, rather than 2 stitches over an inch (which I've done), the machine does a bunch of quick stitches, so it looks even. I've used the TL before and there's is amazing. I even tried jerky motions and for the actual stitches, couldn't tell (could tell in the design, lol).
