Bernina is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its ground-breaking BSR Stitch Regulator this year – the presser foot that ensures an even stitch length by automatically controlling the sewing speed during free-motion work.

In fact, the new Bernina Q20 sit-down long-arm machine – which will be on the stand at Alexandra Palace – actually incorporates two built-in stitch regulators.

To get you in the mood and as part of those celebrations, Bernina is sharing some special free-motion projects for you to try, including an attractive floral stitch t-shirt.
