Stitch Regulator
I suppose my machine needs to be computerized for a stitch regulator? Please tell me I'm wrong. It's a Brother 1500s. TIA, Karen

And the stitch regulator has to be compatible with your brand AND model of machine.

What do you mean by a stitch regulator? Something that regulates the stitich length? or something that regulates how fast you can stitch?
I found this link that says a stitch regulator is available for PD1500S but only a Grace frame. http://www.brother-usa.com/HomeSewin...=06012008.html |
Unless another brand has come up with one very recently, the Bernina is the only DSM with a true stitch regulator.

the only addon I have seen and that was quite some time ago was something called Quilters Cruise Control. You can try googling it and see if they are still around and get the specifics. I don't think it was cheap and quite possiblly will be more than your machine was. But things change - I would still check it out.

Trustitch has one for babylock and brother now. I think I have even seen one out for pfaff, but I dont think the 1500 can use it, but they are available for DSM other than bernina

This is for regulating the stitches. I guess I'll just stick to straight line stitching. I have absolutely zero patience to keep practicing FMQ. Makes one wonder how I have the patience to piece a bunch of small pieces together doesn't it?

My Baby Lock Jane is set up with a stitch regulator but I had the shop that I bought it from set it all up on a long arm table. Would never try to do a setup on my own. Lots of wires to contend with. It is a pain to use this kind of setup.
Just to thread the machine you need to move it to the end of the table. To bring the bobbin thread to the top is difficult as you need to be able to hold the thread as you pull up the bobbin thread. Don't use it much and am hoping to be able to afford at least an 18 in throat machine someday. |
