It has an "eye" (laser) which counts the threads in the fabric you are stitching over. It then makes you stitch length cover the same number of threads...regulates your stitch length. I have to say that it makes the prettiest stitches.

Remember that a longarm machine moves and the fabric stays still. It's relatively easy to make a stitch regulator that senses the machine's movement, harder to make one that senses the fabric movement.

Stitch Regulator is a patented name. There are other versions like fabric movers.

I have the Bernina 440 QEE and it is wonderful. I don't think any other mfg has the BSR. You can't buy it for any machine because the machine has to have the BSR hook up built in to it.
