Expert talk: How does the BERNINA 990 compare to other machines?

[@Pml941]

Excellent video. Very excited to explore all these features. I have used many brands of sewing machines over the years, I’m now a Bernina fan completely!

[@BerninaInternational]

Wonderful! Thanks for your kind feedback.

[@kimzsewing3917]

Wow wow wow one of the best features is the naming of the saved stitches omg cannot wait to get one.

[@BerninaInternational]

Thanks for your kind comment! We hope you will soon receive your BERNINA 990 and wish you much joy with it.

[@Marnie1869]

I was going to get a new brother but this looks so much better.

[@BerninaInternational]

Thank you very much for your comment. We cannot and do not want to compare ourselves with competitors here. But yes, the B 990 really is a special machine with outstanding features. 😊

[@esperansaloughran693]

Very interesting video! Great questions in relationship to the 790 pro similarities

[@BerninaInternational]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for your feedback.

[@kseitz1]

Incredibly informative! Thank you!!

[@BerninaInternational]

Thanks for your lovely feedback!

[@user-oi7dx8tu1f]

Excellent presentation. Thank you!

[@BerninaInternational]

Thanks for your kind words! We're happy that you like the video.

[@Marnie1869]

So when we resize a design and does it recalculate the stitches

[@BerninaInternational]

Thanks for asking. Yes, this is true for BQM files in embroidery and for the Jumbo Stitch feature in sewing mode.

[@loriannpayne4483]

Oh my GOODNESS! This machine is amazing and your explanation/demonstrations are wonderful. With each video I watch, I learn something new. In this video, I learned about distortions! I have a 790 Pro and 880 Plus and never knew about that feature. My only question is - are the magnifying lenses available for this machine?

[@BerninaInternational]

Thanks for your kind words! Yes, the BERNINA magnifying lens set is compatible with the B 990, see our accessories catalog on pages 48 (lens set) and 49 (mounting brackets): www.bernina.com/bernina/media/products/Zubeh%C3%B6r/Zubeh%C3%B6rkatalog/2019/0338795_70A_04_Bernina_Zubehoerkatalog_EN.pdf Mounting bracket 4 (article number 033 853 72 03) is needed to attach the lens set to a B 990. Please contact your BERNINA dealer for more information.

So exciting 🎉

[@BerninaInternational]

Thank you, the B 990 really is exciting, even for the team here in Steckborn! 😊

[@Marnie1869]

Can you show how to use the free arm hoop one doing a t shirt on this on the B990

[@BerninaInternational]

Hi there, thanks for asking. This works exactly the same as on our other machines, using the Freearm Embroidery Hoop, see kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2rOZaKYrKufjtk

[@happytraveller8953]

Hello!! Love this video! I am waiting on my 990 here in the UK and each time I see one of these videos, I get more and more excited. May I ask what the distortion feature is?? I tried to google it but didn't find anything. I've never come across this before in my sewing journey. Thanks!!

[@BerninaInternational]

Dear happytraveller8953, you are going to love the B 990, it will be worth the wait. Distortion is a fun feature which enables you to skew a decorative stitch vertically and horizontally to create a totally different stitch. The creative possibilities are endless with the BERNINA 990.

[@esperansaloughran693]

What is that quilt design in your background, i so love the modern colors?

[@BerninaInternational]

Thanks for your feedback. This quilt has been created specially for the launch of the B 990 and with the B 990. Information on how to sew, quilt and embroider it using the B 990 features will be shared with customers later this year.

[@Marnie1869]

So much to learn great there are going to be virtual classes.

[@BerninaInternational]

On the one hand, we will be publishing a whole series of instructional videos here on KZbin, and on the other, our sales partners around the world will be offering courses, both virtual and on-site. In the USA, for example, customers will have access to content on an online platform called the BERNINA Skill Hub. The best way to find out more is to contact your BERNINA dealer. In addition, there is of course a very comprehensive manual, which is included with the machines in printed form, but can also be accessed via the machine screen.

[@jmichelle1974]

But how much is it? Why not mention the price?

[@BerninaInternational]

Hi there, thanks for asking. Prices vary a lot from country to country and even from region to region, depending on VAT, local promotions, services and accessories included and other factors. Please contact your local BERNINA dealer who will be happy to answer your questions and make you an attractive offer.

[@jeffreylee7040]

$24,000.00 in AZ

$24,000.00

[@BerninaInternational]

Hi Jeffrey, thanks for your comment. We assume that you are referring to an introductory offer. In the US, the BERNINA 990 could be pre-ordered for the launch. The price included numerous benefits and additional products worth USD 6,000. The offer is limited by geography and time. @jmichelle1974, as mentioned before, please get in touch with your local BERNINA dealer if you are interested in the B 990.

[@jeffreylee7040]

@@jmichelle1974 24,000. Not me.

[@Marnie1869]

Lettering features are great

[@BerninaInternational]

Thanks! 😊

THIS ANDREA WAS AT HOOVER'S BRENINA MIFFLINBURG PENNA JULY 26

[@BerninaInternational]

Thanks for your comment! Andie is a great person and a true BERNINA professional. She was involved in the development of the B 990 from the very beginning.

[@cvan1075]

The new bigger footprint means I must sell off the old 880 desk because the lift platform is inches too small to lower the 990 and install a new replacement acrylic table. I have purchased a different thirdparty quilt foot to do ruler work with BSR behind the foot unimpeded. Only 4 point morphing is a new feature for my consideration if spending 15,000$canadian dollars plus taxes to upgrade. Wifi cloud download is not a big deal for more quilt formats because my laptop takes care if interfacing downloads

[@BerninaInternational]

Dear @cvan1075, as a quilter there are so many reasons to consider the BERNINA 990. The large user interface is so intuitive with the integrated help center and manual. You will also love the laser and camera for positioning and the BQM quilt designs for quick quilting solutions. We strongly urge you to visit your local BERNINA 990 dealer to check it out and experience it for yourself.

What happened to the black face??

[@BerninaInternational]

Thank you for your question. We assume that you are referring to the machine's faceplate. In the case of the B 990, a light-colored plate was chosen in a complex design process. One important reason for this was the size of the machine. Black would have looked too massive. Yes, the machine is a little out of line with the B 590 and B 790 PRO who both have black faceplates as the top models in their series. This has been done on purpose. The B 990 is special in every respect.

[@lcsd863]

If I had 23K for a machine. I would get a long arm and save 13K.!

[@BerninaInternational]

Thank you very much for your comment. It's clear: different people need different machines. Which machine is most suitable depends, among other things, on what you are focusing on. If your are primarily interested in quilting, i.e. if garment sewing, patchwork, embroidery or other creative techniques are a lot less important, then a long-arm machine is a great choice. We love our Q Series models - just as much as we love the B 990. 😊
