New Bernina with stitch regulator
Has anyone tried the new Bernina with the stitch regulator? It is
suppose to be the same type of thing that is on the long arm machines. When you are doing free motion quilting the machine stitches the same length stitch regardless of the speed you are quilting. Does it really work? When I get home from vacation I thought I would take a basted baby quilt to the store selling the new Bernina's and give it a test drive. Has anyone done that yet? Susan |

Oh shoot!@ I wish this was on my Bernina 153. Which model is getting
it? When you are using the free motion you have to be careful or the stitches are irregular? |

I had a chance to try it at a local quilt show. It works really well.
There are three different ways to use it, but for the show it was set up the easiest way. Push a blue button on the front, and when you started moving the quilt sandwich, it started sewing. My biggest complaint is that they didn't make more room under the arm! They list for 3499.00. "Susan Laity Price" wrote in message ... Has anyone tried the new Bernina with the stitch regulator?

My local quilt shop emailed me about this model a couple of days ago. I've
been trying to find out how much it is since then. $3499.00? Waahhh! I guess I can stop chatting it up with DH. sigh -- Valerie in FL My quilts: http://community.webshots.com/user/vjkahler "Susan Torrens" wrote in message ...

I made a trip to my LQS this past Saturday for something else, but
couldn't pass up the chance to try out the 440... Boy, was it a dream! I've only tried machine quilting a little bit at home (where my stitches are definitely NOT uniform) and was really surprised at how even my stitches were. The price with the embroidery module was $3200+ (can't remember exactly) but WITHOUT the it the price came down to $2624.25. And, you can add the embroidery part later... Even though I wasn't looking for a new machine, I think I found one! Now, I just need to put myself on the waiting list...

I tried it but only on a small block, not a quilt. It was so wonderful that
I put down a deposit. I can't wait for the shop's allotment of the new machines to arrive. I am also getting the embroidery attachment! Hopefully, it will be very soon; the wait is killing me. Robin |

About $1000.00. You use USB ports to attach the unit to your computer and,
so I am told since mine has not arrived yet, anything you can download from the internet (in several different formats) you can stitch out on the machine. The software also will resize motifs so that if you want to enlarge or reduce the stitch density remains the same. Robin Betty in Wi" wrote in message ...
