What speed should your Juki machine be set on - does that matter at all

[@sandrateer1994]

I got this stitch regulator a couple of days ago. It was somewhat difficult to install but is well worth the investment of time and money to get going. My stitches are so so much better than what I could do without it.

I have the Brother Dream quilter set up haven’t used it yet

[@smileyvivian1345]

I have a Brother Innovis 4000D will this work on my machine?

Hi, I wanted to ask, I can use the grace sure-stitch with an Husqvarna Viking designer 1 machine?

[@janettd1]

I got my first Grace frame 10 yrs. ago. I think the stitch regulator worked successfully then. I can no longer stand and quilt so I thought the Q-Zone would be good to change. I have the speed control installed and functioning, but I can’t seem to get the regulator totally installed. I’ve waited demos over and over. I have the page illustrating the way it should be set-up. I cannot figure out how to hook up the cord that supposedly goes from the control box to the machine plug in. Am I missing a cord that could be hooked between the end hooked into the control box and the machine power cord. I have a Juki 2000. OR, did I install the encoders incorrectly. Can somebody help me??

[@lorimartin8016]

This is a very imformative video. Unfortunately the stitch regulator does not work with my Epic 980 Q. I am on my fourth cord ( none of which fit properly) and 3rd stitch regulator. Nothing I do makes it work right. The plug is too loose and with not make a good connection.

[@ronthornburg1781]

My sure stitch shows a backwards 9 in orange. then when I turn it on it goes high speed and doesn't stop. Can you help? No green light comes on

[@lghollen5543]

I have frame Q-Zone with Juki q2010 Tl bought the speed regulator I am thinking into update to stitch regulator because now when I slow down my stitches are large very loose in the back , my question with the stitch regulator how is bottom stitches regulated like at the top of the quilt?

[@jeannemurphy6495]

My question is when the on/off button on the top right of the Sure Stitch is on and button is red should the machine keep moving? My Juki TL98q needle keeps moving up/down unless I turn the upper right button off even if the machine is stationary. Is this correct? I looked through all videos and read instructions and cannot find an answer to this. Please advise if I have a defect in a wire. I would like to pass this one on to my daughter and purchase a new Juki, Grace Frame, and Sure Stitch for myself.

Your machine should stop once your foot is off the pedal

[@brendabelcher3197]

does this work with Singer 9960?

[@vickideringer5462]

I have a juki and the grace frame with the regulator and the machine never slows down, seems to go way to fast. How can I slow down.

[@ericajohnson5134]

Can I use this stitch regulator without the frame - just for when I’m in free motion with ruler work on my extension table?

[@TheGraceCompany]

Hello Erica, Our stitch regulator uses encoders that attach to your carriage to regulate the machines stitches. It would not be possible to use the stitch regulator without the encoders. If you have any other questions let us know Have a great weekend!

[@carmeltaylor2719]

I have the same regulator for my Pfaff 1200 sewing machine, which is on a Inspira quilt frame . The regulator is very slow & wont speed up. Can you tell me what the problem is.

[@TheGraceCompany]

Hello Carmel, You will want to check to make sure your jumper settings are correct, which can be found in your instruction manual. If your jumper settings are correct and you continue to have issues, please contact our technical support department at 800-264-0644 extension 6000. If you have any other questions let us know Have a great weekend!

Does this stitch regulator work with HQ Sweet Sixteen I have? It does not have any now. I was also thinking of purchaing the Hoop frame...will this be a good combo and work together? thanks!

[@Kimbee-opal60]

Hi Jo, I see they haven't answered about the HQ sweet sixteen -being able to use the stitch regulator... -I to would love to know this. I did purchase the Hoop frame, but found that using the foot pedal (because I don't have the regulator -is hard to use as I stand and use the HQ 16 on my hoop frame. The machine fits wonderfully on the hoop frame, but with out a regulator or having some kind of hand control is uncomfortable. I called HQ and asked if there was a way to put their HQ regulator on my machine, but they said the making of the HQ 16 into stitch regulations would cost over $3000 -for that price I could buy the "littlefoot" Frame, that is an HQ product. and make that adapt to my HQ machine.

how do you lower the feed dogs

[@sandyhanc]

This was very helpful. You might want to correct the spelling of "pulse" on your title screens. It now reads "pusle."

[@mailisailor]

My smaller number 1 creates tiny stitches This regulator is doing nothing right

[@rosalindh007]

I need help! I used my Stitch Regulator twice then it stopped working.

[@TheGraceCompany]

Hello Rosalind, We are sorry to hear that your stitch regulator is no longer working. Please contact our technical support team at 800-264-0644 extension 6000. If you have any other questions or problems let us know Have a great weekend!

[@rosalindh007]

@@TheGraceCompany Thank you, I received a replacement quickly.

[@katluann]

Yeah my stitch regulator lasted for all of two days! When it worked it was great help but next time I wanted to use it I turned it on and nothing! The green light comes on but no stitch regulation! Even the pulse button does nothing. 499.00 for maybe a hour of use. I have went through all the steps again and again. My husband is a computer electronic engineer. He can take a blank motherboard and make it do whatever he wants! If Grace company can’t help me out then I’ll let him tinker with it but not until I exhaust all other avenues.

[@cathyjackson1572]

I had problem with mine and it was the wheels not on the frame correctly.

[@katluann]

@@cathyjackson1572 Nathan was so good to email personally and sent me a new one no questions asked and it was my fault so here it is guys and this is very very important!.. Never turn on your machine first or it won’t recognize the sure stitch! The sure stitch must be on first and I moved mine from my craft room to my dining room and turned on machine first and that caused sure stitch not to work again with my Juki! It’s mentioned in the paperwork so pay attention to it because it’s really important! My replacement works great! Now they have a new sure stitch but I bought the qnique pro long arm so I will no longer need the sure stitch.

[@juanitamcgary4621]

I have the Janome 1600p and the sure stitch is not the same as this one. It doesn’t have any of the speeds regulator like this one. I would love to have one like this. I wonder how much it cost. Maybe I can buy a used one.

[@veramurrell]

Please give info on how to do the settings on the brother 1500s

[@sandrateer1994]

In case you are still interested, I have recently installed this on a Brother PQ 1500 SL. You have to have the tension high. I am using a tension of 5. My stitch regulator is also set at 5. I have only done meandering. I have the pattern perfect templates and am going to try using those next.

[@AiryAsh]

Sandra Teer Hows the stitch regulator working for ya? This post is 8 months old. I’m hoping it’s working well...Have you tried pantograph yet?

[@caleb8145]

What type of frame is this machine on? How much acual quilting space do you have? I have the same machine and wonder how much space it will allow for quilting.

[@lghollen5543]

I bought the frame in June with speed control since them I updated to stitch regulator in July since then I don’t have nothing but problem the first time I received direct from the distributor and was damage I spoke with technician in Grace Frame and they told me by the pictures I sent yes indeed was damaged and they were going to replace it , they did I received today connected everything and nothing my machine Juki 2010 does not do one stitch, everything seems connected according to video and brochures, I am so upset right now , does anyone had the same problem? This is a very expensive little equipment.

[@lorimartin8016]

I have the same problem.

[@dorapatino5556]

I have the same problem I feel like crying

[@martysacoustic]

I am working with one right now that I got . It does not regulate the stitches. No matter what setting number I have it on the stitches are all about 1/2 in long and then also skips. I have my machine speed up to the highest speed. the encoders are rolling nicely. I've about gone through one bobbin of thread to get this figured out. Jason has emailed me back but nothing is remedying the problem. Yes it is an expensive piece of equipment and would like it to work!!! I've been sewing for 50 t years so am not new to the sewing world, just this piece of equipment.........

[@kellieglendon3136]

I’m having same problems. Does not increase speed Same long basting stitch

[@cathyjackson1572]

@@kellieglendon3136 when mine did that it was the sensor wheels not on track properly. Check your carriage and make sure when you move machine that the sensor wheels are turning smoothly.

[@lghollen5543]

I bought the stitch regulator it was doing fine few months ago , I haven’t done any quilting in the frame for a while Now I have all kinds of problems skipping stitch I have watch your tutorial few times follow your instructions with not help , Grace company doesn’t have a solution for trouble shooting, don’t you all read the comments here , also if I go to the Grace Frame website there is not help neither, very good for sales but we need HELP HERE.

[@TheGraceCompany]

Hello, sorry for the delay. And sorry you're having difficulties. If the needle is going up and down but it's skipping stitches, the tension is probably too tight. If the needle is not going up and down, check to see if the encoders are working properly. And make sure that the sewing machine is on the highest speed. If you have anymore questions or the problem continues, please call us at 1(800) 264-0644 or email Product Support support@graceframe.

[@lghollen5543]

GraceFrameCo Thank you for your comment .After many moments of frustration I was able to do some quilting , changed the needle few times from 12 to 14 to 16 finally I settled for 14 also the thread was having problem I settled for a cotton with polyester, it will help if on your tutorial will be more helpful talking about what kind of thread and needles will be better as new on this also is better star slow and the one thing that did help a lot is as your instructor advised to use the Pulse bottom , the tension on the machine was fine , I did learn a lot my second one will be better .
