I personally did not like the stitch regulator ... I preferred to adjust the speed control at the top to what I wanted to do and had very good luck with that. I even dropped the speed to 25% and did some micro-stippling.

If you are serious about getting one, check prices on both the Baby Lock and the HQ Sweet 16 as they are the same machine. HQ makes them both, Baby Lock re-badges it under their name. I priced them both at the DesMoines show and the HQ was a slightly better deal.
