Or How I Fell in love with the BERNINA Stitch Regulator & a tutorial! When the Aurora 440 hit the market with the BSR (BERNINA Stitch Regulator) I tried it at a quilt show and well, wasn't overly impressed. In part because I was still a dedicated hand quilter, in part because the minute my… Continue reading It’s a good thing I can control myself
