The Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR) #42 is a patented, one-of-a-kind innovation—developed and tested extensively—and it’s still widely regarded as unmatched for free-motion control. When you drop the feed dogs for free-motion quilting, the hardest part is keeping stitch length even while your hands move the fabric in any direction. Traditionally, that means learning the delicate “three-way balance” between machine speed, fabric movement, and stitch length—something that can take hours and hours of practice to master.
The BSR #42 takes that pressure off your shoulders. By reacting to the movement of the fabric, it automatically adjusts the machine speed as you quilt, producing neat, consistent stitches that stay precisely the same length. That’s why it’s such a confidence booster for beginners learning free-motion techniques—and why experienced quilters love the added security when trying more challenging designs. A step above traditional free-motion stitching, the BSR lets you concentrate on creativity instead of coordination, helping free-motion mastery feel more like minutes than hours. It can sew both straight stitch and zigzag, making it superbly suited for ambitious, professional-level free-motion quilting on virtually any fabric.
