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

The B 990 is a sewing and embroidery machine model of superlatives. But what exactly are the differences to other top-of-the-line machines from BERNINA, such as the B 880 PLUS and the B 790 PRO? And are there perhaps also similarities?

In our video, Christy and Andrea discuss this topic in an expert talk. Christy is Vice President Education and Training at BERNINA of America. Andrea is Product Manager at BERNINA International AG and has been working on the B 990 for many years at BERNINA's headquarters in Steckborn, Switzerland.

Watch our video to get first-hand information from two true BERNINA professionals with extensive product knowledge about the unique features of the B 990 compared to other BERNINA machines!

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!

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

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

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

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?

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!!

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

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

[esperansaloughran]

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

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

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

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

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