What is BSR?

The BERNINA® Stitch Regulator

The revolutionary Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR) allows you to master in minutes what used to require hours of practice. Consistent free-motion stitching is now easier than ever thanks to this patented Bernina innovation.

Versatile Stitching Effects

Straight Stitch—for freemotion quilting, thread painting, bobbinwork, quilting, freehand appliqué, double needle shadow work, raw-edge appliqué, Battenburg lace

Zigzag Stitch—for thread painting, freehand appliqué, raw-edge appliqué, Battenburg lace

Three Interchangeable Soles

Closed metal sole—similar to Darning Foot #9 with the needle centered and visible

Open metal sole—similar to Freehand Embroidery Foot #24,with an unobstructed view of the needle

Large transparent sole—glides easily over fabric, including bulky quilts (where the large diameter of the clear sole compresses the batting, allowing easy foot movement and needle visibility) and provides full visibility of the stitching area.

Two Modes of Operation

Mode 1—needle stitches continuously; when fabric is at rest, needle keeps moving up and down very slowly. If stitching in place is desired, select Mode 1.

Mode 2—needle stitches only when the fabric is moved; when fabric is at rest, no stitches are taken and the needle comes to a complete stop.

Stitch Regulator specifications

The Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR) is a revolutionary tool in the realm of quilting and sewing, designed to elevate the user experience by offering unparalleled stitch precision. This innovative device automates the regulation of stitch length while free-motion sewing, ensuring that every stitch is consistent and even, which can be a challenge for many quilters, especially beginners.

One of the standout features of the BSR is its ability to provide consistent stitch regulation regardless of the speed of the user's sewing machine. This means that whether a quilter is sewing slowly or in a fast-paced rhythm, the BSR will maintain an accurate stitch length. This feature is particularly beneficial for creating intricate designs, as it eliminates the need for constant manual adjustments and allows quilters to focus more on their creativity.

The BSR utilizes advanced technologies that set it apart from traditional sewing tools. It features built-in sensors that detect the speed of the fabric feed as well as the motion of the needle. These sensors work in tandem to adjust the stitch length dynamically, enabling smooth and continuous sewing flows. This technology also minimizes the possibility of thread breakage and fabric puckering, common issues faced during free-motion quilting.

Another notable characteristic of the Bernina Stitch Regulator is its versatility. The BSR is compatible with various Bernina sewing machines, ensuring that quilters can take advantage of its capabilities across different models. Equipped with two different stitch modes – the controlled stitch mode and the echo mode – the BSR allows users to personalize their sewing experience depending on project requirements.

The BSR is designed with user comfort in mind. Its ergonomic shape makes it easy to handle, reducing fatigue during extended sewing sessions. Additionally, the clear instructional guidelines that accompany the device make it easy for both novice and experienced quilters to integrate into their sewing workflow.

In conclusion, the Bernina Stitch Regulator transforms free-motion quilting by providing professional-level precision and ease of use. With its advanced stitch regulation technology, compatibility with various machines, and user-friendly design, the BSR stands out as an essential tool for anyone looking to enhance their quilting projects. Quilters can now achieve stunning results and unleash their creativity without the stress of inconsistent stitches.
