You can learn without a stitch regulator. There wasn't one available for my Elna 7200 when I started so I learned without one. It was a relatively new invention for domestic machines and was only available for the straight stitch only types back then.
Have you checked with Quilters Cruise Control to verify there isn't one for the Sapphire? Grace has something called Sure Stitch so you might check with them, too.
