I also have a 440QE and have had lots of trouble with my BSR.
Just doesn’t work like they tell you.

Try slowing your speed on the front of your machine. Its under the needle up and down button.

Moyra you control the speed by sliding a knob from fast to slow. I also have the 440QE, for 10 years now, and love the BSR function. You are missing a great feature! I wish I could insert a photo to show you, check your user manual.

Keep trying. I had the same issue, at first. I was tense and seemed to just Smash the foot control. I learned to get the fabric moving just a bit and be less aggressive with my foot. It took a while, but by the time I finished my first attempt (a wall quilt), I was fine. Since I don’t quilt freehand a lot, I have to pay practice 20 minutes, or so, before starting my project.
You’ll get it.

How about a ruler foot? I use my ruler foot with my 790 Plus much more than the BSR. Frankly, the BSR runs very quickly.

What is the “securing function”?

I have a Bernina QE 770 and just recently tried the stitch regulator. I have never been able to free motion quilt on a regular machine before. I rent a longarm to do my quilts. I recently had three panels I did on a longarm that needed torn out and redone on my Bernina. So pulled out the stitch regulator and started practicing. Wow was able to do it in no time and could even do stippling which I have never been able to do on a reg machine or a longarm before. Wasn’t perfect yet but good enough to pass inspection! Love that thing and can’t wait to use it again!

With the high cost of Bernina machines and their accessories, including feet, it would be nice to see a discount on The “Big Book of Feet”. Or better yet, produce a free PDF copy for Bernina customers.

Will Bernina make a BSR foot that can be used for doing rulerwork with?

Hi, I find that when I have the BSR connected, I cannot control the speed of the machine, so I can stitch slower. I find the speed very fast. I have a 440QE and love my Bernina but never use the BSR as I find I dont have control over the speed. Thanks.
