Bernina Sewing Machines

Why is Bernina of Switzerland the sewing machine of choice for Quilters?

The quilting world is truly diverse; there is the extraordinary array of different quilt styles from traditional patchwork bedcover to startlingly modern pieces of art and from amazing miniature pieces to vast works filling entire rooms. There is also the range and diversity of quilters working on their own, in small circles or large groups in every country throughout the world.

But wherever you are or whatever type of quilting you are working with, the Bernina name comes up as the sewing machine quilters want and we wondered why this could be. The common factor between all quilters of course is passion. Quilters are passionate about their craft and will spend countless hours on their works, this means that their sewing machine must stitch perfectly and perform reliably for hours at a time, through layers of fabric and wadding. These are exactly the characteristics that Bernina are well known for.

Bernina BSR stitch regulator – revolutionised free-motion quilting.

The patented BSR system revolutionises the freehand technique by automatically controlling the sewing speed so the stitch length stays even. When you move the fabric faster, as if by magic the machine stitches faster; when you move the fabric slowly, the machine runs slowly all by itself. You do not need to touch the foot pedal, you just move the fabric and your stitches are even and consistent. This was a great advance and has cemented Bernina’s reputation as the machine Quilters desire.
