BERNINA 990 Sewing Machine

BERNINA’s flagship 3-in-1 machine for sewing, quilting and embroidery. It has a 14-inch workspace, a 10-inch touch screen, 2,927 stitches, 879 embroidery designs, and the new Giant Hoop for a full 12-inch square of embroidery.

One Machine. Every Project. Swiss Precision.

The BERNINA 990 is built for sewists, quilters and embroiderers who want one machine that does it all at the highest level. It combines Swiss engineering with smart placement tools and a large workspace, so you can take on big, detailed projects with confidence.

Room to Create The extended freearm gives you 14 inches (356 mm) of space to the right of the needle. That leaves plenty of room for quilts, home décor and large garments. An extension table (12.5" x 25.9") is included in the standard package.

Easy to Learn, Easy to Use The 10-inch touch screen works like a tablet. You can pinch, swipe and rotate designs, use the included touch pen, or connect an optional mouse. Icons have text labels, and the settings are searchable. The built-in Help Center includes the full manual, step-by-step tutorials, and a Quick Start guide. You can also scan a QR code to open it on your phone or tablet.

Embroidery Placement You Can See

• BERNINA Placement Scanner: scans your hooped fabric and shows it on screen, so you can preview design placement, size and colors before stitching.

• Integrated Camera: shows the needle area live on screen when you sew or embroider.

• BERNINA Pinpoint Laser: marks exactly where the needle will go into the fabric.

• Pinpoint & 4-Point Placement: mark four points on your fabric, and the design scales or reshapes to fit that area.

Large-Format Embroidery Included The Embroidery Module XL with BERNINA Smart Drive Technology and the new Giant Hoop come standard. You get a 16.1" x 12" embroidery field, including a full 12-inch square, which works well for quilt blocks. The twist-lock closure and alignment markings make hooping quick and accurate.
