What is the stitch length regulator on this? One of the dials on the front? Is there a good range of stitch lengths?

The middle button us the stitch length. Nit starts at 0, which U.S. for the buttonholes. Then goes from 1 to 4, it will do a very small stitch to a large basting or gathering stitch. This machine us also the same as a regular Janome model...it's just the hello kitty decoration

Hi Alan, not sure about your question but i've had 2 of these regulators fail on me. both within a month of receiving. see other similar reviews. this is not a reliable part. D

I bought a Brother Project Runway 70 decorative stitches from Amazon. Do not know the part number but the bobbin fits. there is not a lot of thread on the spool but the prewound bobbin, the bobbin itself with the matching thread was a pretty good deal I thought

If it's the same one I have on my motorcycle, the specs you provided are way off. It's only a couple of inches across and maybe a bit better than .5" high when the bezel is taken into account. Fits beautifully right below my speedometer on the bike. It's been on my Honda VTX1300 for a little more than a year, looks greats and keeps great time as well.

You can use a little bigger but need bigger eye of needle. What size thread do you want to use? Monday phoneme. Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

I do not have the specific model that you requested, but both of my machines are Brother and work fine. This is a tall foot, not a short angled foot. I was not happy with the unit, because while it is advertised as a 7mm foot, I have only ever been able to create a 3 mm rolled hem. I really needed a wider hem for the projects that I create.

contact the grace co, they will let you know, each regulator is factory set for certain machines 500.00 is a lot of money to waste if it doesn't work with your macine.

There's a dial that goes, I think, from 1 to 20. It doesn't give measurements. I suppose one would have to test, perhaps by torquing a screw with a calibrated wrench and then seeing if the driver will unscrew it.

They are 1100 yds on each spool. I have another machine and I have to put the metallic thread on the top peg instead of the back one (it would tangle on the back one) and I just had to mess with the tension but it didn't take long to get it right. I really like the looks of the finished designs with this thread and I would buy again. Hope this helped a little.

It's really about getting the right mm sizing. I believe that 58mm is standard. I am using this Portafilter on a Rancillio Sylvia and it works great!

wish I could help, mine is still working fine. My guess is that they are trying to find a more reliable manufacturer for these regulators. good luck

On mine the needle touched the dial and if you tap on the front the needle will move 2-3 deg or more. So not sure how accurate but probably close

2.0mm is within the stitch length range that this machine is capable of handling, but because there are no notches in the stitch length adjustment, it might be difficult to get it to exactly 2.0mm. However, for the purposes of FMQ, you'll be able to get it quite close enough. As for frustration, I think FMQ always comes with frustration at the beginning, regardless of machine. I haven't tried it on this machine yet, but I haven't seen anything that would make me think it would be any more frustrating than on other machines, as long as you remember to drop your feed dogs ;)

Hi, there are 3 stitch lengths , a small, medium and long. there is no indication what the sizes are per inch...but the medium is what I use for most of my projects, the large is more of a basting stitch and the small for fine and small areas. I hope this helps/ It is a great machine... Christine

You should check what thread your plugs are. This kit is for M14 x 1.25 threads. It comes with three different length inserts to accommodate different reach (thread length) plugs. M14 x 1.25 means the outside diameter of the threaded surface is 14mm and the distance from one thread to the next (the pitch) is 1.25 mm. You should be able to Google your plugs and find the thread specs with one of the manufacturers.If you are struggling with this information you are probably out of your depth when it comes to this repair. If you mess it up, you may need a new cylinder head or at the least you will be taking the head to a machine shop for welding and repair. You should check what thread your plugs are.
