Stitch Regulator
The BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) is designed to assist

...and is available as an optional accessory for the...
• aurora 430 (straight stitch only)
• artista 630 (straight stitch & zigzag)
• artista 640 (straight stitch & zigzag)
The BSR Foot is equipped with three unique soles, each
designed for different sewing situations:
• A closed, O-shaped, metal sole, similar to that of Darning
Foot #9, for detailed freemotion stitching techniques such as
stippling, bobbin-work, and thread painting.
• An open, C-shaped, metal sole, similar to that of Freemotion
Embroidery Foot #24, 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 freemotion stitching techniques. The large sole
moves easily over raised areas and is useful for stitching thick
batts, as it compresses a larger area around the needle,
increasing visibility. Cross-hairs and concentric circle markings
aid in accurate stitch placement .
Experiment with each sole; personal preference plays a major role
in determining which sole is most appropriate for you to use with
each project and/or technique.
