I too have the stitch regulator, Oofta, and for the same reason as you! Ha! I have only used it a couple of times but it seems to work fairly well and really helps me stay "steadier" while quilting. Maybe one day I won't need it but for now, I am glad I found one to put on the frame. Now if only I had more room in my sewing room!!! But I guess a lot of us say that.
