Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR)

The BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) is an advanced presser foot designed for quilters who want consistent, professional results in free-motion quilting. By automatically adjusting machine speed to match fabric movement, the BSR maintains uniform stitch length regardless of how fast or slow you move your project, eliminating the uneven stitches that often frustrate free-motion work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the BERNINA Stitch Regulator work?

The BSR uses sensor technology to monitor fabric movement and automatically adjusts the machine's sewing speed to maintain consistent stitch length. When you move the fabric quickly, the machine speeds up; when you slow down, it slows down, ensuring uniform stitches throughout your free-motion quilting.

Is my BERNINA machine compatible with the BSR?

The BSR is compatible with BERNINA 5.5mm and 9mm machines that have BSR function capability, including the 790, 780, 770 QE, 740, 590, 580, 570 QE, 560, 550 QE, and 540 models. Not all BERNINA machines support the BSR. Check your user manual or contact OSP Machines to confirm compatibility with your specific model.

Can I use the BSR for both straight and zigzag stitches?

Yes, the BERNINA Stitch Regulator works with both straight stitch and zigzag stitch, giving you versatility for various free-motion quilting techniques and decorative applications.

Do I need special skills to use the BSR?

While the BSR makes free-motion quilting easier by regulating stitch length, some basic free-motion quilting experience is helpful. The BSR is ideal for intermediate to advanced sewists who want to improve the consistency of their free-motion work or are learning free-motion techniques.
