A few folks have asked about the fabric mover so I thought I would share some of my limited knowledge.
First - I love to quilt - primarily free motion, but I don't like having varying stitch sizes. The answer... originally was to get a long or mid-arm sewing machine with stitch regulator. The stitch regulator speeds up and slows down your needle based on how fast your needle is moving over the fabric. Unfortunately, not only are they expensive but even worse they are really BIG! My sister has a Millennium Long Arm and I love to use it while I am visiting her home in Michigan BUT it takes her entire sewing room to house it ... and it is a big sewing room.
So, sometime around December, I found out about the Fabric Mover with Stitch Regulator by Quilter's Cruise Control (http://www.quilterscruisecontrol.com/). It is basically a frame that you place your fabric on and as you move the frame, it controls the stitch speed. The only assembly required is that it plugs through your power supply/foot pedal. They are still not cheap but at least they don't take up any space!
I believe they are compatible with the Pfaff 2000 series and up and they also have a similar product for Husqvarna Viking and probably other machines as well.
I don't have the fabric mover in hand yet but I should get it soon... I hope.
