Hi,
I saw this machine for the first time at my LQS/Bernina dealer for a
SuperBowl Sale. I didn't try it (ashamed to say I haven't done any mach.
quilting yet) but saw a couple of ladies test it. It is a 440Q. It was
really neat to say the least. It has a red sensor light on the foot which
detects the fabric moving. The operator doesn't even have to use a foot or
knee controller. I think I recall the dealer setting a stitch length. The
price was around $3,300 (don't know what goodies came with it). If I were
in the market for a new machine, I could be tempted.

The stitches really are the same length regardless of speed,
though there can be the odd one here or there that is slightly off --
not as many as are off when I do it without the BSR (stitch regulator),
though.

Did you notice -- do you get to set that length or is it preset in the
machine? I ask because when I do very tight stippling then I want a fairly
short stitch so that I can approximate curves and when I do more open
stippling I want a longer stitch ....
