The new BSR3 mode offers you 2 or 4 stitches per inch, ideal for quilt basting. See this page for a description of what the BSR foot, can do.

Other helpful features include the presser foot lowering automatically at the beginning of a seam. Threading is semi-automatic, and the thread is cut automatically when you reach the end of a seam, or when you wish to change colors while embroidering.

The programmable foot control also gives you  more options. The Bernina Hook system keeps every stitch consistent and precise. It incorporates a jumbo bobbin that holds up to 70% more thread than standard bobbins, which means fewer stops and starts with your sewing. And since it is conveniently changed from the front, there’s no need to remove your project. Upper and lower thread indicators warn you of thread shortages in good time.
