Oh, and I have the studio frame, which is the "good" one. I had gone to see one for sale at a home that had it set up on what seemed to me to be a big banquet table!!! not stable and it seemed to bow from the weight. My frame is adjustable in every way. Can be set up large or small. Can't remember the size but I don't have the extra poles in to make it the largest as I don't have room and I don't need it. I am happy with the stitch regulator, too bad you didn't like it when you tried it, maybe you just need practice.
