My BERNINA Embroidery Workbook, 9 Series

Explore the advanced embroidery capabilities of your BERNINA 990 with the My BERNINA 990 Embroidery Mastery Workbook. This hands-on guide takes you through scanning hooped fabric, precise design placement, large-scale editing and stitchout recovery. Work through the exercises at your own pace and keep the workbook beside your machine as you build confidence with its camera, positioning tools and editing functions.

Key Features:

• Hoop Background Scanning — Practise using the built-in Placement Scanner to scan hooped fabric and preview design placement, alignment and thread colours over an image of your fabric on the 10-inch central touchscreen.
• Live Needle View — Follow exercises using the integrated real-time camera to check the needle-drop path.
• 2-Point & 4-Point Placement — Explore multi-point alignment, including selecting four coordinates to morph or scale a motif to fit an uneven or skewed fabric area.
• Pinpoint Laser Verification — Use the continuous Pinpoint Laser to check placement across multi-point borders without lowering the needle or taking a test stitch.
• Large-Scale Design Editing — Explore stitch-density adjustments from 25% to 300% and design scaling within the 16.1" x 12" Giant Embroidery Hoop field.
• File Management & Undo/Redo — Navigate folders and design layers, transfer files via Wi-Fi or USB and practise multi-step Undo/Redo within the editing layout.
• Stitchout Customisation — Review Thread Away settings, fabric thickness variables with a 4 mm default and jump-stitch trimming constraints with a 6 mm default.
• Stitch Advancing & Recovery — Practise selecting a colour block or stitch line to move forwards or backwards through a design after a thread break.
• Downloadable Format — Digital booklet, not a printed book.
