From the concept to BERNINA Stitch Regulator 

The best ideas always come from teams, and translating ideas into successful products also requires teamwork. The BERNINA Innovation Team consists of developers, engineers, quality inspectors, testers and market experts. Customer feedback always plays an important role and is gathered regularly.
The BERNINA team recognized early on that the interest in quilting brought on challenges in completing quilt projects due to the difficulty many sewers experience in perfecting free-motion techniques. Only very experienced quilters could create uniform patterns.

Following this trend and keeping the customers’ wishes in mind, BERNINA made it their mission to make beautiful free-motion stitching attainable to all. The computer controlled BERNINA Stitch Regulator was developed and immediately became the best selling of all BERNINA accessories world-wide.

Inspired by quilters and artists, the BERNINA team created a small sensation designing a foot that, with the aid of sensors, detected sewing speed and adjusted it machine stitching speed appropriately. As a result, sewers have discovered how creative the BSR lets them get with their quilting, home-furnishing and garment-sewing projects.
