Yes the stitch regulator works just fine. I sewed a small quilt top of Churn dash blocks alternated with Shoo-fly. I will quilt it once I finish learning FMQ. I started practicing on Cinderella but now I'm scared to mess her up. Granny insisted on giving me her old Sew Master when she overheard my crying about Cinderella to my brother. He is a fairly good general mechanic. So now I'm learning the Sew Master but I miss Cinderella!!! I cannot get the bottom stitch on my Kenmore to look right doing FMQ on it. It looks like a spider got tangled in it. Phooeey! Cinderella's FMQ was perfect! Even if I couldn't drive it right. Thankyou all for letting me rant and for the Intellegant questions and suggestions! Thankyou for the PM Elliot! Any and all help much appreciated!!
