Ok, maybe i just expected too much from the BSR bc i thought the one thing it did was to keep the stitch length consistent no matter how fast or slow you move the fabric. The first time I used it, i had not touched the BSR button but now I know to do that. Mode 2 is ok but it is harder to tie off...i feel more comfortable with mode 1. I wondered if it needed to be calibrated or some other thing done before it would work but it sounds like I may need to just try it on larger open areas vs small intricate shapes. I played with it quite a lot and was actually thinking of selling it but I will give it yet another go because so many people say they would not be without it. What am I missing! Tartan, I didn't know about the bell. I will turn mine on to see if it helps somehow. I bought my machine from a dealer closing and got no lessons not even a demo but the price made up for both.
