At the time I was purchasing it, I was looking at best quality for least amount of money. Good hunting. I know there are some good machines out there.
Call Tin Lizzie and tell them about your stitch regulator not always working. It sounds like you need a new Y cable. That is the cable the connects to the two encoders. A wire may be going bad in there and then sometimes when the cable moves around, it's a bad connection. It happened to me and I got a new cable and now all is perfect with the stitch regulator.
I have a Tin Lizzie and haven't been successful in getting them to call me back - what's your secret?
