McTavishing With or W/O Stitch Regulator

I've only had my machine up a week and a half. I've been practicing w/manual control. I thought that was the best way to learn. Since reading this post, I practiced today with the stitch regulator and things went much better. Thanks for all the advice I've read here. I'll have to try McTavishing now too. I've got the book already. I have so much to learn about my Millie!!!

If you are just starting with McTavishing - it really helps to use the SR -

in case you get stuck in a spot - you can pause - look ahead and plan your

path that you will take.... works for me! Welcome to the forum & Good Luck!

Judi, you are so right. A friend told me it's best not to use the S/R because then you can just go, but I notice for me, it's best with it because then when I do get stuck or I'm not sure where I want to go next, I can stop and think about it ;) I guess it's one of those things that what may work for one person may not work for another. I am glad I asked you all though!

I have to put my 2 cents in here. I don't have a SR, would love

to have one but can't right now. And I do just fine with McTavishing.

It can be done and I don't seem to have much trouble. I just have

to stop the machine when I get stuck.

Stitch regulator does make is easier, but as Michele said above she is successful at McTavishing without a S/R. What we have on our machines is what we get use to quilting with. S/R does reduce a major chunk of the learning curve.
