The BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) is designed to assist with free-motion stitching techniques by helping to keep the stitch
length regular and consistent, eliminating hours of practice.
ON-SCREEN TUTORIALS
To access information about the BERNINA
Stitch Regulator at any time, select the Tutorial
icon; then BSR to obtain on-screen info.
The BSR Foot is equipped with three unique soles, each designed for different
sewing situations.
• A closed, O-shaped, metal sole for detailed free-motion stitching techniques
such as stippling, bobbin play, and thread painting.
• An open, C-shaped, metal sole for added visibility in front of needle when
following printed or marked lines. The “prongs” of this sole are slightly curved,
facilitating movement over several layers of fabric and/or thread.
• A large, clear plastic sole for echo-quilting and medium to large-scale free-
motion stitching techniques. The large sole moves easily over raised areas;
useful for stitching thick batting, as it compresses a larger area around the
needle, increasing visibility. Cross-hairs and concentric circle markings aid in
accurate stitch placement.
BERNINA Stitch Regulator Mode 1
When BSR Mode 1 is selected the
needle immediately starts to move
up and down, ready for the fabric
to be moved for stitching.
BERNINA Stitch Regulator Mode 2
When working in BSR Mode 2, the motor
is engaged only when the fabric is moved
under the foot, giving the stitcher time to
stop and think about the path the needle
is taking.
NOTE: If there is no movement for over
approximately seven seconds, the BSR will
automatically deactivate.
Attach and plug in the BERNINA Stitch Regulator; lower the feed dog. The 880 PLUS automatically lowers the feed dog when
the BERNINA Stitch Regulator is selected.
Set motor speed to maximum on the Slide Speed Control.
NOTE: It is possible to stitch faster than the BSR can regulate. Engage the audio signal to alert you when you exceed the
“speed limit”.
Create a sample using the BERNINA Stitch Regulator using the sole and Mode of your choice, following the Free-motion
stitching instructions on the previous page. When stitching is complete, raise the feed dog to sewing position.
