Overview

Various pens

The PaintWork tool serves as a retainer for textile pens of all types. The tool features four varying sizes (diameters). This allows fine, medium, thick, or extra wide lines to be painted. Using the embroidery module, the desired motif is painted by your BERNINA as if by an artist.

Paint individually

The motif becomes lighter or darker according to the selected line density. The denser the line, the deeper the colors will appear on the material. You can embellish anything you'd like just the way you want. Other materials such as leather, plastic, or paper can also be painted.

Create your own motifs using the software

The PaintWork software offers numerous tools that make the individual editing or even the creation of your own motifs on the PC possible. Operating the software is simple and clear. A sequence manager indicates the order of the motif lines to be painted. In just a few steps, an image with amazing effects can be made out of your very own idea.
