Default on topic for once: bernina stitch regulator

I have no problem free motion stitching on my Viking. I refuse to quilt
anything larger than a twin size, so I have no idea how well I could do
it with all of that bulk. My larger quilts are sent out to be quilted.

Debbi in SO CA who is waiting to hear from the quilter as to when she
can take her CA king quilt over so that I have it back for my mom's
birthday.

I stopped at the Viking area at my JoAnn's yesterday (the lovely ladies
remembered Sofia even if they hadn't seen her for a while, name and all,
of course she was wearing another hand knit sweater I made for her and
they had commented about the previous one so that helped). Back on
topic: I asked if Viking was planning on coming up with something
similar to the Bernina stitch regulator in the near future. They said
the bernina foot was not fine tuned yet, basically not ready for prime
time, and that it doesn't compare to what you get with a big quilting
machine. They also said that I should be able to do FMQ just as well
with any machine after some music and a glass of wine... what do you
guys think? Obviously they didn't want to lose a client to the
competition but is there some truth to this?
