If you decide you dont like it, let me know. I have a daughter who is almost 18 and wont be needing her room forever! lol
but really, let me know how it goes. I would like to hear what you think of the stitch regulator. I don't think I would NEED one but it sounds really cool.

I have a Tin Lizzie, have had about 3 years or so. I don't get to do as much quilting as I like, but I like the long arm and the frame. I've been pretty basic with stippling quilting, just did a baby quilt and tried different patterns for the sashing, etc.
I do have a question, if someone can help.
I seem to have problems with my thread breaking regularly during quilting no matter how fast the speed is.
Also, I've notice that especially at the beginning of the quilt the bottom thread is very loose and gets bunched up. I think this is what causes the thread to break. I have the quilt tight, I have the presser foot down, I have the top and sides basted, what else can I do to avoid this problem, it looks bad and I spend a lot of time taking out stitches and re-sewing.
Thanks

Congratulations. you will love her. I have one too. Had a few minor issues in the beginning but worked through them. I thought I wanted the regulated stitch and now I don't use it. I don't have a computer on mine either. Join the yahoo group--good info there.
