There are computer guided LAs but you are talking a lot of moola - probably around 30 grand (yes that is correct). Some of the machines - I know Innova is one because I have been looking at it - you can get with just the stitch regulator (for about half) and then later if you still want to add the computerized part. I don't personally know anyone who has the computerized so don't really know anything about it other than it sounds cool I will be watching this thread
