The BERNINA 990 is the top of the BERNINA range and, at the time of writing, the most capable machine we sell. It is a sewing, quilting and embroidery machine built without compromise, and the sort of purchase people think about for a long while before making.
We would rather you came and spent an afternoon with it than read about it. What follows is what the machine does. What it feels like to use is a different conversation, and one best had sitting in front of it.
Headline Features
14 inches to the right of the needle
An enormous working space, and the reason edge to edge quilting on a domestic machine is a realistic proposition rather than an ambition.
Giant Hoop, 30.5 by 41cm
Twelve inches by sixteen, exclusive to this machine, and large enough for a full quilt panel or a jacket back in a single hooping. Four hoops come with it, small, medium, large oval and giant.
Integrated camera and Placement Scanner
The camera positions designs precisely, and the scanner lets you place embroidery against what is already on the fabric rather than measuring and hoping.
BERNINA Integrated Stitch Regulator
Even free motion stitch length at any speed, across all quilting applications including ruler work.
2,927 stitch patterns and Jumbo Stitch
Resize any decorative stitch or monogram from 25 percent up to 500 percent, with a maximum stitch width of 9mm.
1,200 stitches a minute
Quick, and the stitch quality holds at the top of the range rather than fraying at the edges.
10.1 inch colour touch screen
The largest screen BERNINA has fitted, centrally placed, with design transfer from your computer or tablet.
In the box
Ten presser feet, the Embroidery Module XL, four hoops, stitch plates, bobbin case, free arm table, knee lifter, thread lubrication unit, USB stick, accessory box and tools.
This is not a machine to buy from a web page. Ring us and we will set aside proper time, on a day that suits you, with the machine threaded and ready.
