I love HandiQuilter! I get to use the ones at the store. The Sweet 16 stitch regulator isn't that useful. It attaches to the quilt, and guages the stitch by how the quilt moves. If your quilt is all bunched up, it doesn't give a very good reading. But the machine and table are built so solid, and they are an awesome company to deal with. They have really great customer service!
