Some stitches are small and others are too long.
I was told that if I had a stitch regulator it would help make the stitches even.
Hope one of these days to find a long arm quilting machine at a low price to use with the frame.
I'm located in Willow Springs, Mo
Do you have one for sale? Or know where to find one?
Thank you
Vera
Vera,
I do have an OLDER one for sale that was made in the 1970's by A-1 Quilting in Springfield, MO. We got it 2nd hand and have used it for about 14 years. It does not have stitch regulator or anything fancy. It is a free motion SHORT ARM quilting machine that uses pantograph patterns. I don't think it would be much help for your problem of keeping the backing tight. I would suggest checking out A-1 Quilting or B SewInn, both in Springfield. They would probably be the best places to check.
We are trying to sell ours, as we are upgrading to a new to us Baby Lock with quiltmotion. We are getting it from B SewInn at a price that we just could NOT refuse.
Just for reference, below are pictures of the machine we are trying to sell. If you or anyone else is interested, PM me here for details and price.
Dave
