Send your design to the machine with a single click - The BERNINA WiFi Connector is developed to wirelessly transfer your embroidery designs. This seamless process enables you to do all your creating on the computer and then send it to your embroidery machine for stitching. Whenever your embroidery design is ready for stitching out, you just start the process with a click.

Easy installation - Installing BERNINA Embroidery Software 9 has never been easier or more flexible thanks to the improved installation process. In a snap, the software is installed on your computer. Plus, you can use the software on multiple computers just by signing in and out.

Neat and smart home screen - Upon opening BERNINA Embroidery Software 9 you will notice an informative and interactive home screen that offers links to tutorials, new projects and resources.

Customize anything you want - Alter an embroidery design according to your desires and without limits. The Full Editing feature offers the new Branching and Weld tools. With the Branching tool you don’t have to think about the most efficient stitching sequence and connectors as this function does it for you. Digitizers often want to combine or weld objects into a single object which is easy with the new Weld tool.

Clear interface and improved features - All the incredible software features are easy to use and navigate with the user-friendly interface. The menu is intuitive and easy to manage. You have the choice between small or large icons for a perfect view and the tool names and functions can be displayed if desired. Open more than one design at a time and easily switch between designs.

Digitize your handwriting - Thanks to the new Keyboard Design Collection, you can expand your lettering capabilities limitlessly. With this versatile new feature, you can map existing alphabet designs to the keyboard, so you can type them directly on screen. No more combining designs one by one! You can even digitize your handwriting or your own alphabets from scratch! Furthermore, five additional Keyboard Design Collection fonts are included.

Easy positioning - The positioning feature makes it easy to place designs where you want them. Just set the design worksheet and add a template to your preview, then move and rotate the design within the hoop and use the advanced print preview options. Use the hoop template and basting stitch markers for the exact positioning.

Your favorite image as embroidery design - Take artwork and turn it into an embroidery design – all done by using the powerful, updated Auto-Digitizing and Manual Digitizing tools. In just a few clicks your artwork is ready to stitch. With Manual Digitizing you can create your embroidery design from a sketch and digitize it manually. This allows even more flexibility right from the beginning.

One-of-a-kind appliqués - Enjoy the extended tools to create appliqué and convert any shape into an appliqué design with just one click. Even creating appliqué with holes inside is possible with ease. Want to cut the fabric with the CutWork tool or a cutting machine?
No problem as you can save an extra cutting file directly from the embroidery canvas.

Choose from many built-in font designs - With the BERNINA Embroidery Software 9 you will get over 100 fonts – with some modern handwritten style fonts included. To ensure the best quality, the recommended size for each font is displayed in the dialog box. And there are even more improvements: The font preview size is now changeable from small to large. The font selection window shows recently used fonts at the bottom for more ease of use.

Manage your designs in the design library - This powerful integrated design library ensures quick access to all designs and provides enhanced design management. It makes it easy to browse, group and search for designs or get inspired. From here you can also directly send your designs to the BERNINA WiFi Device for stitch-out.

3D Embroidery - The Color Photo Stitch and Automatic Digitizing features turn your favorite photo into a detailed embroidery design in just a few steps. With Puffy Lettering add outstanding 3D effects to embroidered letters and with the enhanced CutWork function create beautiful Eyelet Embroidery and Appliqué. The Globe Effect turns flat embroidery into a 3D design and with Couching create stunning 3D effects in combination with wool.

Color management - Palette positions are numbered for easy reference within the Color Management system and the color wheel features a range of color options. It has never been easier to pick the right color and fill objects with the help of the numerous colors within the palette (56 + 3 appliqué). The chosen colors are tagged with a blue marker.

Multi-Hooping - Creating large designs is simple using the Multi-Hooping feature which automatically places more than one hoop when necessary. It places hoops to cover the entire design, fitting as many objects as possible into each hoop position. You can preview all hooping sequences and save it as a complete design or as separate multi-hooping machine files.

Embroidering on quilts - Embroidering on quilts is also easy with the Automated Quilt block layout feature. The automatic quilt background stitching is used to create “echo” quilting designs, like scroll-clipped or stipple-filled quilt blocks. The best part: you will even receive quilt block sizing and positioning aids.
