If you’ve ever wanted to quilt with more control and precision, the BERNINA Foot #42 Stitch Regulator (BSR) is the tool that makes it easier. Perfect for beginners and seasoned quilters alike, the BSR helps your machine automatically adjust to the way you move the fabric, keeping your stitch length consistent no matter your speed. This means you can focus on creativity, not worrying about uneven lines.
Why Quilters Love the BSR
Free-motion quilting can be tricky, but the BSR takes the stress out of every stitch. Its clever design ensures:
- Stitches remain even and controlled, whether you move quickly or slowly.
- The machine automatically matches your fabric speed for smooth quilting.
- Two stitching modes to handle both sharp points and gentle curves.
- Compatibility with 5.5 mm and 9 mm BERNINA machines equipped with the BSR function.
By handling the technical side, the BSR lets you concentrate on patterns, textures, and design choices.
Projects to Try
Three Soles, Three Functions
- The BSR comes with three interchangeable soles, each suited to different quilting styles. From precision outlining to echo quilting, each sole gives the perfect level of stability for clean results.
Heart Mini Quilt
- A 16″ heart-shaped mini quilt is a great starter project. Mode 1 keeps corners and points crisp, while Mode 2 flows naturally around curves—making it ideal for practicing both precision and movement.
Free-Motion Quilted Placemats
- Bring sketches to life with a functional set of placemats. The BSR helps stabilize your stitching so your designs stay smooth, consistent, and professional-looking, even on larger pieces. Whether you’re learning free-motion quilting or experimenting with more intricate designs, the BSR is a tool that grows with your skills.
Happy stitching, and may the BSR spark countless creative moments in your quilting journey!
