Page 126: Bernina Stitch Regulator (Bsr)
BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) 11 BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) The BERNINA Stitch regulator equalizes the stitch length which results of the free movement of the fabric while free-motion sewing - a sewing technique which grows more and more popular. When free-motion sewing with the BSR presser foot, every stitch is equally long and the stitch formation is perfectly regular.
