I have the Fab U Motion...not the one with stitch regulator...is that the one you had...because I only pd 69.00 for mine. I know the one I have went for 0/200 in the beginning but then they wanted to get rid of them. I took mine out of the box once and like you never pulled it out again. Mine did not come with a booklet just one sheet of paper with very little instruction...Also no middle plate you are talking abt...
