Or are you just starting to discover embroidery and want to master it as quickly as possible? In both cases, BERNINA embroidery software is just what you need! Software makes embroidery and creativity an even greater pleasure. As with a graphics program, before embroidering your design, you can edit, change and embellish it according to your own ideas. Create genuine embroidery one-offs, unique patterns that no one else has except you. And that's not all: you can create gorgeous designs that you then cut out or paint with your embroidery machine. Or you can design a template for iron-on rhinestone motifs… doesn't that all sound tempting? Then find out about the various embroidery software products from BERNINA!

BERNINA Designer Plus embroidery software offers you all the possibilities you could want for embroidery, turning you into a real embroidery pro. Limitless editing options and a wide range of functions make this software an indispensable companion for creative people, bringing a whole new quality to your embroidery.

BERNINA also has a wide range of tutorials to help you familiarize yourself with the software. Create your own custom designs at home on the PC and then simply let your embroidery machine do the work. Embroidery doesn't get any better than this!

Embroidery Software 9

BERNINA Toolbox embroidery software is an easy-to-use, modular embroidery software for beginners that allows you to gradually expand and adapt the software to your growing needs. As well as the complete software package, the modules are also available individually. The Editing, Lettering Basic, Lettering and Monogramming modules allow you to grow gradually, step-by-step and expand the capabilities of your embroidery software to suit your requirements. Tutorials are also available for the Toolbox software to help you learn the individual steps.

The Editing module allows several embroidery designs to be combined or the individual elements of a design to be edited separately or together. Change colors, change the shape, combine, duplicate, group, flip, rotate, resize – everything is possible!

With the Lettering Basic module, you can combine any number of embroidery designs with lettering. A choice of 20 integrated fonts is available. The Lettering module offers a wider choice of options, with 100 fonts. It also includes five two-tone fonts, six text shapes and text boxes for decorating the lettering. This gives you a fantastic wealth of options for personalizing clothing, towels, napkins and much more.

The Monogramming module offers 15 specially designed monograms plus 10 additional fonts.
All these fonts can be combined with over 60 decorations to create one- to three-letter monograms.

BERNINA Toolbox can be installed on a Mac or a Windows PC and can also be used on a tablet. A range of patterns and functions are available in the BERNINA Cloud, so you can be creative wherever you are.

BERNINA DesignWorks software opens up three completely new worlds and dimensions! Although this software is not a classic embroidery software, it supports three creative applications – CutWork, PaintWork, and CrystalWork – that are only possible on an embroidery machine with the embroidery module. So why not use your embroidery machine to cut, paint or create rhinestone motifs? Yes, you read that right.

DesignWorks allows you to do all this, for example, cutting out intricate patterns and shapes from fabric on your machine. For this, you only need the CutWork tool. Simply mount this small mini-knife on your embroidery machine instead of the needle, and then cut out the pattern step-by-step. You can also cut several layers out at once, for example for cutting out identical pieces for patchworking. Another possibility is to paint patterns on your embroidery machine. To do this, the PaintWork tool, a holder for a textile pen, is mounted on the machine instead of the needle. Textile pens are available in many different colors, allowing you to paint fantastic, colorful motifs precisely on your fabric. You'll love it!

CrystalWork allows you to create templates for a wide range of rhinestone designs. For this, the CrystalWork tool is mounted on the sewing machine instead of the needle. With this small punching tool and a special CrystalWork film instead of fabric, the desired pattern is punched into the material as a series of small holes. Iron-on rhinestones are put into this hole pattern template and the entire thing is placed onto adhesive film. The stones stick to the film in the shape of the desired pattern and can then finally be ironed onto the denim jacket, T-shirt, sweatshirt, or blouse. It doesn't get more individual than that and it's also great fun!
