Still not sure what you are asking as all the members gave you the names of their specific machines that were longarms with stitch regulators which I am sure they like. Bernina as far as I know does not make a longarm. I am unsure if there are exacting descriptions but from what I have learned any machine 18" + is considered a longarm, less that 18" but more than 10" is a midarm. So there are numerous options out there for you. Your best bet to to go and test drive as many as you can and determine the right feel for yourself. There are many members with different longarms and they love them for different reasons...but most especially for how they feel to themselves. You can also do a search here on longarms and come up with opinions about many different machines. If you don't have many options for places to test drive maybe there are quilt shows in your area and if so many of the vendors come with their setups for people to try out and see the features available with their particular brand of machine and frame.
