I think the Bernina 440 has a hand-look quilting stitch built in. But I use the technique described by other posters on my 430 and it looks pretty good. It is slower, so I only use it in limited areas.

My Pfaff also does a "quilting stitch" You use invisible thread in the bobbin, and regular thread on top. On my pfaff I can program stitches and for the quilting stitch you program one regular stitch (a little longer than you use for piecing) followed by five or six tiny stitches. You finish the programming with a repeat function. With the right tension settings you get a regular stitch with your top thread, then the five tiny stitches that bring the invisible bottom thread to the top, regular stitch, five tiny invisible stitches, etc.
The result looks as if you have spaces between your regular stitching but in reality there are five tiny stitches in between each regular stitch that you can't see. The effect gives it the appearance of hand quilting.

Question please....Okay, I put invisible thread on the top and desired colored thread on the bottom. Now, do I stitch with the reverse side of the quilt up OR do I stitch as I normally would with right-side up? I may have missed this answer so please humor me if I have. Sure want to try this today.
