you don't need both and the price difference between the 2 is dramatic.
a speed control does only that control the speed.
a stitch regulator does speed and regulation of stitching.
either brand grace or cruise control will work with your juki

I have used the speed controll and the stitch regulator. Both worked great. The speed control you control the speed with a knob and it goes at that speed. The stitch regulator controls the needle. I like the stitch regulator best. However, I did well with the speed control at the time too.

you don't necessarily NEED EITHER ONE-
many people quilt just fine by practicing without speed control (they do not press so hard on their pedal when they want to slow down)
and without a stitch regulator- they learn to speed up- or slow down to match their movements with the movements of the machine.
they are a convienience- not a necessity.

I agree with ckcowl. I had a Brother 1500 on a grace frame. It just takes a little getting used to controlling your "pedal". The Grace frame came with a bed that the machine sat on and the pedal connected to a hand-squeezer for the speed. I used that set-up for 9 years...but I also had the panto-boards (grooved board that the metal stylus fit into to make designs). The only thing I might have purchased would have been the upgraded machine bed thingie (the thing the machine sits on)....it supposedly makes it easier to maneuver the machine into curves, diagonals, etc.
In the meantime, my husband purchased me an Innova set up.....so I'm in Heaven. But, I've kept my PS1500 for sewing and the frame/panto-boards in case anyone wants to purchase it.
Whatever you do, practice, practice, practice. I do remember getting so frustrated at first......
