Do...I have the Bernina 440 and I use the BSR alot. Does the red light come on when you move your fabric? If not, you need to read the instructions because you haven't pushed all the buttons necessary. I change my stitch length to 3 so I don't get tiny stitches; tension much lower (depends on your machine but I use 1); presser foot pressure down to 1; and I use BSR option 1 (not 2). See if that helps.

Stitches all wobbly and trying to feed the fabric through at a constant, regular speed is doing my head in. <br /><br />Practice practice practice. Perhaps we can compare notes and then think of all those quilts we are going to get done!<br /><br />xxxxClarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344963200919601488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041588012248537691.post-76073482423411460072009-08-29T21:03:26.344-05:002009-08-29T21:03:26.344-05:00Love those embroidery stitches - especially the fo...Love those embroidery stitches - especially the font.

In fact that seemed to be the consensus of everyone who had it... So if I were you I would turn it off and just practice without it...it really is easy once you get the hang of it! I love all the great embroidery stitches...which one do you have? I'm still trying to decide which one I want now that I know I don't care about the BSR. Bernina's are sooo awesome :) Have fun playing!!!Ginger Patcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447359526530333305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041588012248537691.post-1169069087439760372009-08-28T15:20:03.437-05:002009-08-28T15:20:03.437-05:00Ahmm.. nice to see someone else working on the loo...Ahmm.. nice to see someone else working on the loops..;o) Do you believe me.. if I say Practice.. huh??? :o) So they told me.. and I dont know what to think..lol..Stina Blomgrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299884012748813660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041588012248537691.post-14061100591256247692009-08-28T08:59:30.577-05:002009-08-28T08:59:30.577-05:00Oh I can see that you are having fun!!
