"The BERNINA 990 for a project of this scale was truly a game-changer. It’s the easiest embroidery machine I have ever worked with—quiet, smooth, and completely flawless from start to finish. The precision and reliability it delivers made the entire process seamless, allowing me to focus on the creativity rather than technical hurdles."

Struggling with Perfect Alignment?
Without mastering the scan function and Pinpoint Placement on your BERNINA 990, multiple hoopings can end up misaligned, wasting time and costly fabric. Avoid frustrating errors and achieve flawless precision every time.
Overwhelmed by Complex Rehooping?
Rehooping over 60 times for a large design like the Dream Big Flower Panel sounds intimidating—without clear guidance, it’s easy to lose your place or misalign stitches. This class teaches you step-by-step how to confidently manage multiple hoopings with ease.
Underutilizing Your Machine’s Full Potential?
Your BERNINA 990 is packed with advanced features designed to make large, detailed projects possible—but without knowing how to scan and use Pinpoint Placement correctly, you’re not leveraging your machine’s power to its fullest. This class unlocks practical skills that save time and elevate your embroidery projects.
"Small, consistent investments in mastering your existing tools compound over time. With SewingMastery, you’re not chasing the newest gadget—you’re building habits that unlock the true power of what you already own."
Must I purchase the embroidery designs or a Dream Big flower panel to enroll in this course?
No, you don’t!
If you own a Bernina 990, the techniques and tips shared in this course can be applied to any of your current or future quilting and embroidery projects. Just follow along with each lesson to gain valuable skills and become confident in using your beautiful BERNINA 990 to its fullest potential.
At the end you will be able to work with the included built-in quilting designs on the BERNINA 990 to start custom quilting your next quilt with your embroidery machine all on your own!
