BERNINA Stitch Regulator (optional)

BSR – BERNINA Stitch Regulator (optional). The revolutionary features that make free-motion quilting a cinch: BSR, the BERNINA Stitch Regulator. The BSR regulates free-motion stitching, ensuring consistent stitch length, even at variable sewing speeds. A highlight: the BSR foot can even sew zigzag stitches.

Multifunction knobs

Sewing and embroidering the easy way: Use the multifunction knobs to adjust stitch length and width. You can infinitely scale, position and rotate designs in the embroidery area, as well as work with them in the Tutorial. Thanks to the state-of-the-art user interface, all settings are immediately visible.

Built-in embroidery designs

You have a choice of 70 pre-installed designs, including floral, quilting and children’s motifs. Being able to freely combine and edit designs and alphabets on-screen will give your creativity wings!

Infinitely adjustable presser-foot pressure

The stepless control of presser-foot pressure lets you achieve the most even fabric feed possible, thereby creating the perfect seam with all thicknesses of fabric, from coarse to delicate.

Start/stop key and speed control

The start/stop button and the speed control are an ideal double-act, letting you sew without a foot control – a real boon with long seams and quilt projects. The speed control allows you to adjust the speed to your individual requirements.

Reverse pattern foot # 1 / 1C / 1D

Reverse pattern foot # 1 / 1C / 1D is the ideal presser foot for sewing forward and reverse-feed utility and decorative stitches.

Overlock foot # 2 / 2A

Overlock foot # 2 / 2A lets you neaten seams easily and sew high-quality hems, waistbands and overlock seams on knit fabrics.

Buttonhole foot # 3 / 3C

Buttonhole foot # 3 / 3C is the natural choice for easy sewing of buttonholes with and without cording, and is also ideal for gathering with cord.

Buttonhole foot with slide # 3A / 3B / 3C

Depending on the model, Buttonhole foot with slide # 3A / 3B / 3C determines the desired buttonhole length for identical buttonholes either via a sensor or manually.

Zipper foot # 4 / 4D

Thanks to its narrow, centrally positioned toe, Zipper foot # 4 / 4D can stitch very close to the zipper coils, allowing it to sew the zipper on neatly.

Blindstitch foot # 5

Blindstitch foot # 5 is suitable for sewing blind hems on all fabrics. When this foot is used, you can hardly see the stitching from the front.

Darning foot # 9

The vertical spring action of Darning foot # 9 prevents the fabric from flagging and produces a neat stitch pattern. This foot is also suitable for free-motion embroidery.

Open embroidery foot # 20 / 20C / 20D

Open embroidery foot # 20 / 20C / 20D is ideal for embroidering with your sewing machine. The indentation in the sole of the presser foot allows it to glide smoothly over dense stitches.
