Don't know about "solving" your problem, but it should help with the evenness of the stitching. Be aware that, even with a stitch regulator, your stitches can still vary in length tho not to the degree they are now. When you get your SR, take the time to practice, practice and maybe practice just a tad more...most of the folks I know say it takes about 400 hours of practice before you start "getting it"...good luck!
