Well, I've been trying to convince my hubby that I needed a Bernina so I could have a stitch regulator because I too thought it would solve that problem. Glad I haven't spent the money yet. I just use a Singer and when I'm going in a straight line it comes out real good, it's usually when I go sideways or circular that my tension gets off but I think it's because I move faster for some reason. I think something like cruise control on my car would help. Then I could concentrate more on moving the quilt at a steady speed. I've done a couple of twin size and it was difinetly best at the end, so I guess practice truly is the answer.
