Free-motion stitching can be used in a variety of applications: stipple quilting, thread painting, bobbin play, and more. The feed dog of the machine is lowered and you have the freedom to stitch in any direction, following any pattern you choose.
To master this technique, it takes a lot of practice to be able to move the fabric smoothly at a speed that results in consistent stitches. The BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) makes it easy to achieve regular and consistent free-motion stitching in a very short time. You select the desired stitch length and the BSR works with the electronics of the machine to consistently deliver it, no matter how inexperienced the operator.
