YOUR Unregulated (or should I say Irregular?) Quilter, Is YOUR stitch regulator still in the box?Īre YOU able to achieve even stitches without a regulator? I would love to hear your thoughts on stitch regulators!Īre YOU a quilting teacher who recommends using or not using a stitch regulator?ĭo YOU use a stitch regulator regularly? Is it built-in or attached? Quilted without a stitch regulator What do YOU Say–Yea? or Nay? On the other hand, stitch regulators may give you the little boost you need….Īs with most things, it’s a matter of personal preference. Don’t let the lack of one prevent you from enjoying free motion quilting.Īs a beginner, even stitches may seem impossible, but I think you’ll be surprised that your sense of timing will become second nature quicker than you think. Quilted without a stitch regulator Regulators Yea? or Nay?Ī stitch regulator, especially a built-in type, is nice to have, but it’s not a “must-have”. (You can do ruler work with built-in regulators.) Ruler work requires a special foot which does not attach to the BSR on sewing machines.

Notice in the video–smooth movement and consistent quilt speed create even stitches!)ĬON- The motor required for stitch regulating is fairly noisy (One of the reasons I often revert to manual mode even on my longarms)ĬON-You can not do ruler work with an attached stitch regulator.

PRO-Quilters can concentrate on motif formation rather than moving the quilt at an even pace.ĬON-Quilters do not develop their own sense of timing and don’t learn how to move the quilt smoothly when aided by a stitch regulator. PRO-Beginner quilters and infrequent quilters can achieve even stitch length with little practice using a stitch regulator. I use manual mode about half the time and the stitch regulator half the time.īutterfly-Even stitches without a stitch regulator On the other hand, the built-in stitch regulator on the longarm quilting machines is easier to use and stitching flows more naturally, so I frequently use the stitch regulator on my Q20 and Q24. It felt backwards–like adding training wheels to my bike after I’d been riding a two wheeler for ten years. I tried the BSR once or twice, but never took the time to learn how to use it properly. With practice, I learned to create fairly even stitches–not perfect, but good enough. Consequently, I had to develop my own sense of timing. I learned to quilt before stitch regulators were available. When I am quilting on my sewing machine, I never use the stitch regulator. One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is whether or not I use a stitch regulator. Many models of sewing machine (like my BERNINA 770QE) have an optional stitch regulator accessory which can be positioned on the machine like a presser foot. For example, both my Q20 sit-down BERNINA and my Q24 Longarm on a frame include a built-in stitch regulator which can be turned off (Manual Mode) if desired. Most longarm and midarm quilting machines on the market today offer a built-in stitch regulator. Longarm and Midarm quilting machines have built-in regulators Built-in v. The BSR adjusts to regulate the stitch length. The quilter dials in the desired stitch length, then begins moving the quilt to create motifs.
Sewing Machines (B770) require attached stitch regulators What is a Stitch Regulator?Ī stitch regulator, like BERNINA’s (BSR=BERNINA Stitch Regulator), detects the speed of the quilt moving under the needle and adjusts the speed of stitching to maintain a designated stitch length. Please share YOUR experience and thoughts on stitch regulators.
I would like to offer a few thoughts on stitch regulators, but more importantly, I would LOVE to hear the collective wisdom of nearly 15,000 readers of LKQ.
