This is the one that makes my heart go pitter-pat. ;) I got to play with one a little bit, yesterday and boy, was it cool!

Is it as picky about threads as some of the other long arms seem to be? I don't want to have to deal with matching thread weights in the bobbin and needle. I like being able to put something like Bottom Line or 70wt bobbin thread in the bobbin and a huge thread in the needle.

Another question - if you're quilting with a fine thread in the needle, can you actually use the small needle that is right for the thread, or do you have to use the 16-18-20 size needles that seem to commonly recommended?

Oops - forgot one - do you have the stitch regulator and how do you like it? Some of them seem pretty troublesome, but on the sample I saw yesterday, it looked like the stitch regulator was right on the money, even though the piece was clearly experimented with by numerous other newbies. :)

Thank you! :)
