With the stitch regulator you still have to try to work at an even pace, but it gives you a lot more room for error, and the results end up looking a lot nicer.
Thank you. Watching the long arm videos yesterday, I could see that it's a whole different world than my machine/frame set-up, but I would like to make what I have work for me if possible. I don't make very many quilts and, while I think I can justify the expense of a stitch regulator, I can't justify buying a long arm machine at this point in my life.
