I have had mine for about a year and love it. I didn't get the table extensions and just put up card tables on each side for a large quilt and it works fine. I have thought about the new stitch regulator but want to try it out before spending $1000. Based on the comments here, it sounds like it might not be the fabulous addition we might hope for. I have done small quilts and even king size. With the huge harp, it really doesn't matter how big the quilt it. And I just can't stand up for long periods any more so sitting to do this is the right thing for me. I needed a little help setting up and getting tension right in the beginning, but it has hummed ever since.
