Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a stitch regulator?
A: A stitch regulator senses movement of the machine or fabric and adjusts the speed of the needle to maintain a consistent stitch length. This is useful for free montion quilting and embroidery.
Q: What machines does this work on?
A: Any Juki TL machine should work. Specifically, any machine that uses the Juki JC-001 pedal.
Q: Can it work with other machines?
A: Maybe? If the foot pedal acts as a variable resistor this could potentially be adapted. You might have to change the R2 and R3 resistors and possibly use a different version of the 4131 chip.
Q: Does this work with or without a quilting frame?
A: It can work with both, depending how you mount the sensor!
Q: Do I need to know electronics or coding to use this?
A: It would help, but no. At least I hope not, if I write the instructions well enough!
Q: Will you build and sell me one of these?
A: Not at this point, it’s still under development and subject to change a lot.
