I haven't had an opportunity to try my BSR lately, I am finishing a top now that I plan to use as a practice piece. A friend bought a Bernina 620 she hooked up my BSR to her machine and it auto updated because then it worked beautifully. I was able to free motion my son's quilt for his birthday last Dec. My dealer is four hours away so I keep my machine very clean and oiled I will have to send it to her soon for servicing probably by Sept. Joan

Zarah OFFLINE Posts: 1526 Thank you received: 30	I just had my 440 QE to service and I asked them to upgrade my BSR because I find it not working properly. They had never heard of that and asked Bernina. The answer was that my machine (1 year old) is upgraded. It's machines more than 3 years old, that needs an update. They say my BSR works so I guess I'll have to try it again .

lorra OFFLINE Posts: 962 Thank you received: 122	I just read this thread on the BSR. I have a 440QE also. I tried the BSR a couple of times and could not get it to sew the way I expected it too. I put it up and have not tried again. I may take it to my dealer next week. The Gammill is wonderful for the big stuff, but the BSR would be convenient for little things. Other than that, I love my 440QE.

A couple of years ago, I posted on the forum about my frustration with the BSR on my 440QE. It just never seemed to do what it was supposed to - the unit would race so I would get gazillion teeny stitches or it would almost stall out on me. After having taken it in a couple of times with no successful fix, I just threw up my hands and stopped using the BSR altogether.
I picked up my machine today after taking it to a different place for cleaning, maintenance, etc. and before I left the store I asked if I could try it out and maybe the store personnel could tell if I was doing something wrong. Well, I might as well have been using a brand-new machine. For the first time in its life, the BSR worked beautifully. Problem solved, don't know what it was, but I suspect the fix was in this latest upgrade. Thank you Bernina and a huge thank you to Pamella's Place in Genesee Depot, WI.
