You don’t need stitch regulator
Hi,
I ordered the cutie frame due to space restrictions too. I was eyeing the q zone for a while but didn’t have the dedicated space for it. I did order the stitch regulator to use with my Juki tl2010q... I really love this machine for piecing and quilting related projects but do have my old machine for buttonholes and other stitches. I just got it today so I need to build it still... but I can’t wait to test it out.
However, the stitch regulator is not required for the cutie. You can use it with your foot pedal but need to comfortable with free motion quilting to keep the stitches even. I hope this helps and good luck.
