All Skill Levels |

If you don't have your own Bernina Sewing machine with the Stitch Regulator, you may borrow one. Just be sure to reserve it when signing up. With a few basic tips and tricks, you'll soon be a master of free-motion stitching with the Bernina Stitch Regulator in no time!
From quilting to thread painting, a wide variety of effects can be sewn using free motion stitching. Even though the final results may look very different, most free motion techniques
are stitched in a similar manner. If you become familiar with one, you can easily transfer those skills to another. The BSR makes it look simple for everyone to be an expert at free motion stitching. The BSR presser foot reacts to the movement orf the fabric under the foot, thereby controlling sewing speed. The set stitch length is maintained, irrespective of the movement of the fabric. |
