I know this is a very old thread, but I wondered if those using the Brother PQ 1500 with the stitch regulator would come back and tell me how it works when not on a frame? How does the regulator know how fast you are moving the fabric? I just can't visualize this.
Another related question is if I decide to put mine on a frame, what kind is the best as in the easiest for a newbie with no place local to learn? It would all need to be by video or internet sites. I definitely want a stitch regulator to go with it. I don't know enough to even ask decent questions right now.
