They work pretty well (very similar to the Viking ones). However the actual quilting area is on the small size and you need to move it often. I am not sure that I would want to quilt a queen size quilt on them - but I will tell you that on small projects they are great. I think it also depends on the machine that you have. You would have to do some research on it.

Stitch regulators are made for straight stitch machines mounted on a frame. The machines are reasonably priced at around $600. They only have a 9 inch throat space.
The stitch regulator costs $500.
Then you need a frame. You can get small ones that only hold a crib size or you can get one that can be set up small or large. I opted for large.
By the time I added the delivery and install it ran me $2300.

I bought my machine at a quilt fair and got "such a deal!" Oh, well. I wanted it and I had worked a long time. It's time to play now! I do like my toys just as much as my husband likes his!
