Up until today I thought there wasn’t a difference between stippling and free motion. I watched the video! That was VERY helpful….I think I can do mickey Mouse ears and mittens!
You’re the best!

Dear Robyn,
Your posts on this BSR has saved me from further headaches. I have wasted hours trying to figure out where I went wrong till I came upon your blog!…. Thank you so much! Years after you posted this, it is still so useful to others!

Happy Chinese new Year
& have a wonderful weekend, Robyn! – Xue

Great website! I have a question for you about your Bernina Aurora 440 QE, Robyn. I own one, too, and I can’t figure out how to set my machine to always stop in the needle down position while I’m free-motion quilting. Can you help me?

You are my heroe! Bernina should pay you for the magnificent job you’ve done explaining and illustrating the machine quilting capabilities of the 440. I can finally stop procrastinating and start machine quilting all the baby quilts I’ve been sewing. My calloused hand quilter’s fingers thank you too!

Hi – Just wanted to say I stumbled upon your website in my search for information about the Bernina 440QE – I’m trying to find out exactly WHAT the BSR is and how it works. The information you have listed is great – Thanks! (Now, I’ve got to decide if I can afford to buy one or not….maybe the local quilt show will let me trade in my 153QE…)

Also, I love the other categories you have listed and Banjo is the icing on the cake – just GREAT!

Thanks again for the info!
