I haven't used the fabumotion, I however have used the brother/babylock trustitch and while some love I feel that you really still need to be decent and consistent at your speed and hand control otherwise the regulator will be jerkey with you. I have found that if you get the consistency of your and your stitches will look consistent and then the regulator will just collect dust one you gain control. I find that my stitches sometimes even look better than with the regulator. I think people think they are training wheel and I think it really prevents you from getting the true coordination you need because you are relying on the regulator for speed so you never get that hand speed control
