Edge to Edge On the B990!

[@lonnieanderson4408]

Thanks for this demo. I have my machine but no benefits like you are talking about . So I’m so glad that you are doing these instructions for us. Thank you…Thank you!!!!!!

[@susandabinett8194]

Thank you for such an informative tutorial. Bernina has made edge to edge quilting much simpler and the scan with the laser makes the connection perfect.

[@susie4248]

I love your instruction. It answered many questions I have for the 990. I am also very impressed with your studio's included 5 year service with the purchase of this amazing machine.

[@HelloHello-bb5ik]

You are an outstanding teacher. It is quite the process to hoop and rehoop. To quilt an entire quilt will be a many day process.

[@EllicottCitySewVac]

Yah i would keep it to smaller projects personally

[@2011agility]

At last a demonstration of the giant hoop being hooped. THANK you

[@marydinkel]

Great video - thanks so much. I’m sorry I live so far away (AZ) to get my 990. I’m going to pick mine up today

[@gaylewest-grimley2052]

Your videos are the BEST!

[@marywilliams5262]

I love your videos! My brain responds to your teaching style!

[@ThePhoenixArt138]

Thank you for teaching. I appreciate the step by step and explaining differences in the feet, for example. 🎉 love if you did long arm (frame) and qmatic

[@MarkCampbell553]

Thanks for these videos. Can't wait to see the machine on the 6th.

[@KarenQuilts4Fun]

It’s awesome that you can stitch even though the whole design doesn’t fit in the hoop!

[@EllicottCitySewVac]

Blew my mind

I've been embroidered on a Bernina for 20 years and did not know this!! I have an 880 and quilt large quilts - THANK YOU!!!

[@jackydedeugd6668]

Never knew this was possible thank you so much

Wonderful video. Thank you!

[@ChrisandTagMills]

Your tutorials are great! I am having one problem I need suggestions on. I am using BQM BD804 on my 990, giant hoop, and quilt sandwich with quilt cottons on top and bottom and By Annie Soft and Stable in the middle. At the end of each iteration, the design ends up with a messy thread nest on the bottom. I am making sure to keep the machine clean and oiled properly. What should the thread cutting be set at?

[@ChrisandTagMills]

Sorry for the question above. I turned on Quilt Settings in the Stitch out Summary and it now matches the last stitch to the first perfectly and allows me to cut the threads, tie and hide them.

[@CGee17]

?? I'm a newbie for edge-to-edge and to having multiple bobbin cases (I had an 880 prior to the 990). Which bobbin case are you using? And would using the other one have negated the need to adjust the top tension? I have always shied away from adjusting tension. Still so much to learn in this area. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@jessiegibson9023]

Good video thanks looks good

[@starrdark]

I'm having trouble hooping up my quilt projects. It's difficult to get the 3 layers in the hoop, and often very difficult to get the screw closure closed. Any suggestions? Or where I might ask?

[@EllicottCitySewVac]

Might be something goin on in the lock mechanism itself, I have not had any issues getting stuff hooped with it myself. Can you get it to lock in on stuff other than a quilt?

[@starrdark]

Ugh! This afternoon I removed a quilt, and it wouldn't close EMPTY. Finally got it to close by setting it flat on the table. I'm perplexed. Sometimes it works nicely, while other times it's like it's jammed.

[@EllicottCitySewVac]

@@starrdark i'd take the hoop to your dealer and have them look at it. If it's not right you should be able to get it fixed or get a new one.

[@starrdark]

@@EllicottCitySewVac Thanks, I'll definitely do that.

Wish I would have purchased my machine from you! What great benefits you give! Where are you located? Love this demo! Super helpful! Thank you!

[@EllicottCitySewVac]

Thanks! We are in maryland, close to baltimore.

[@eileenwilliams9400]

Brad, gave you installed the hook Race replacement part thar Bernina is sending out for the 990? Is there a video?

[@EllicottCitySewVac]

Have not got mine yet, they're shipped though.

[@privatesd]

Doesn’t this machine set tension automatically based on threads?

[@KarenQuilts4Fun]

Love the idea of the cup foot-for free motion, I can’t tell you how many times I catch on a seam if a us the stippling foot (which I no longer use)

[@jackydedeugd6668]

Hi Can you use foot 44C also use on the 790 pro for embroidery?I mean for edge to edge

[@EllicottCitySewVac]

sure can!

[@jackydedeugd6668]

@@EllicottCitySewVac thanks for your answer I’ll try it right away it is simply not described anywhere 😮

[@elainevanassche3022]

After you hit the cut button, does it leave exposed threads?

[@EllicottCitySewVac]

it's locked with the short stitches at the end so you just trim em and you can't see it at all, it's just as if you cut em on a longarm with scissors

[@elainevanassche3022]

@@EllicottCitySewVac Thank you for answering my question.

[@joytorelli5848]

Hi Brad, Wonderful demo! Would it be useful to use a sticky template of the design and use Bernina's pinpoint placement to make sure the design is in the correct place? It seems that scanning every time is pretting time consuming. Maybe the camera can substitute for a template?

[@EllicottCitySewVac]

sure but its only 70 seconds. In real life it's not such a burden. Would be annoying to watch a video of it for sure though lol. using a template would definitely work great its just not for everyone

[@Richardjaymz]

I wish a company would bring out magnetic hoops as standard when ya buy a machine !

[@rachels8857]

Between the brother and the bernina E2E, which is your favourite? (sorry if you have answered this later in the video, as I have immediately typed this question at the very start)

[@EllicottCitySewVac]

Baby Lock is easier to do the built in e2e but only have 10 options. We will see when the new machine is out if it gives us more but as it stands the 990 is better imo because it is way more versatile.

[@lonnieanderson4408]

I cant believe your 5 year service included with the purchase of this machine!!! Where are you located?

[@jeffreylee7040]

So how do you put the hoop on? Just skip over that

[@EllicottCitySewVac]

Oh! You just pinch these little springloaded things on the left side of the hoop and drop it right onto the embroidery unit, it's dead easy. I cut that out trying to shave time off a ridiculously long video!

[@jeffreylee7040]

@@EllicottCitySewVac oh. If you say so. I have the 325. But I refuse to pay $23,000

[@garethcooper2096]

Great video Brad …does the 790 plus have the same functionality regarding a design stitching off the edge of the quilt? Ie continuing the design when it goes back onto the quilt?

[@KarenQuilts4Fun]

Thanks for this great demo-I’m new to Bernina but getting a 990. Why did you level using the fabric and not the placement lines (i typically use 4-6 marks to ensure the design is aligned). The fabric can stretch and with denser patterns it could make a bigger difference

[@EllicottCitySewVac]

Yeah would've been better to use the marks the whole way you're right

[@AboubakarSali-xm5fj]

I need mine please

[@karenjaynez]

The video is great but how does one afford a machine that is over $20k
