I watched the one on Babylock , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k...

I believe Bernina has patented their BSR system.
Years ago Husqvarna introduced a moving extension table that was connected to the machine and served as a stitch regulator. I saw it demonstrated. It worked well, I was almost drawn to buy it, until I heard the price - it was very expensive. It's no longer in their accesory catalogue, so I think it must have been discontinued.

I see the one rescuer gave a link to works in the same way - and it just as expensive.

They are pricey...but the price on the tables has come down. I'm interested more in something attached to the machine

Perhaps you are thinking of a speed regulator ? I have one of those for my Elna DSM that I use for FMQ. The stitch regulator is quite expensive--the speed reg. under $100. But they must be ordered for your particular brand of machine, as they replace the foot control attachment. The drawback I find for this one is having to reach for the 'stop' button while the machine continues sewing.

I am perhaps confused...what is a speed regulator?

I am sure there are others out there, but look at the link to see if that is what you are looking to find.

Magic stuff.

With the BERNINA BSR you are moving the piece/fabric on a sewing machine, as the BSR regulates your stitches with your movement at the speed you stitch so that all your stitches are even - 2 settings available!
As far as I am aware BERNINA is the only Company that has this unique BSR (Bernina Sewing Regulator! I could be wrong!

I thought I would post a description of the BSR as per the Bernina Website - IF not allowed the Moderator/s can please delete:

The BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) produces neat, consistent stitching with stitches of precisely the same length while free-motion sewing.

Reacting to the movement of the fabric, it adjust the speed of of the machine automatically when free-motion quilting with the feed dog lowered. The BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) can sew both straight- and zigzag stitches. It is superbly suited to ambitious professional-level sewing projects such as free-motion quilting on all fabrics.

Enjoy free-motion sewing ease with the BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) – your specialist for absolutely consistent stitching.

Hi undecided, I'm not sure if I'm of any help, but I have done some free motion sewing by just lowering the dog feed and using a walking foot on my machine. I have a rubber looking quilt aid and use this to guide the stitching. I'm hoping someone else with more knowledge of the Bernina sewing machine will come along and be of more help. Love Chris

P.S. Check out Google and see if there are any tutorials on this subject.

I have the same, Chris, but getting stitches the same length when stippling is not the easiest thing to master. Hence the BSR.
I use the walking foot with the dog feet raised to get even stitch length for straight lines and gentle curves and sometimes use the special quilting stitch that the Designer offers.
But for stippling etc. I have to practise every time to get the rithme right before I get going on the real McCoy.

Yes mops¡ So true I want to spend my energy on creation and let the machine make the right length stitch!
