Bernina 440QE BSR Machine Quilting - Help I'm new!
I'm just starting practicing with my BSR and sometime the stitches are longer than others. I thought the BSR was supposed to regulate the length of the stitch? Unless I misunderstood the sales pitch you could vary the speed (which I'm doing because I'm learning) and the machine would regulate the stitch length. Any advice would be appreciated.

The BSR helps to regulate your stitches but it is not foolproof. It prevents me from getting the micro stitches which was my main problem. Are you using BSR #1 or #2 ? I can't get the hang of sewing without a foot pedal. I believe the machine has about a 3 second delay before it starts to sew which can result in a larger beginning stitch. On a whole, my stitches are pretty regular.
Is the red light on when you begin to sew? If the red light is not on, then the BSR is not working. Does your dealer offer free lessons? I still go to my Bernina club once a month to learn new things. |
I spent ages practising my FMQ with bernina to begin with some stitches are larger and you sometimes get eyelashes on curves. I can now adays just go and am always pleased. It seems to be that once you latch on to how you have no problems any where.
Just keep trying it does work very well. |

There is a learning curve for the BSR. At first I didn't like it at all but once I learned to control it (myself) and realized I had to pay attention to every movement of my hands (LOL), it worked great. Keep at it.....you'll learn to love it!

sometimes your BSR foot will need to be adjusted - if it appears that it is skipping stitches or the stitches are very far apart you may want to have your dealer take a look and adjust it.

I don't know if a long stitch is actually caused by skipping a stitch but my feeling is that the stitches are far apart. Any way of knowing if it has to go into the shop? They just looked it all over a month or so ago, but, I didn't know enough to bring my BSR with the machine. They didn't ask either.
