This club was designed as a way to dive deeper into the BERNINA 990 machine through hands-on learning in a classroom or virtual learning environment. With a focus on utilizing the various features of the machine, projects will be designed to teach students best practices and useful tips.
Project: Computerized Quilting Zipper Pouch
Create a zipper pouch with computerized quilting that is great for storage or gift giving. Features of this class include:
Endless embroidery,
Alignment,
Jumbo Stitches,
Sew Stitch in Embroidery,
and Quilting Designs.
The B990 Club: The Journey Continues is now enrolling for 2027.
All B990 owners are welcome to join. It is recommended that those enrolled in the Original Club finish the 6 sessions before enrolling in The Journey Continues as these classes will build upon knowledge gained in those sessions. NEW in 2027: every student gets access to the virtual sessions and recordings for the classes that they enroll in. This way if you want to re-do the project you have a designated place to find the information and instruction, even years in the future.
Topics currently planned for 2027 classes include: Lettering, Stitch Recipes, Shape Designer, Appliqué, Edge-to-Edge, Couching, and Pinpoint Placement.
