BERNINA 990 Placemats

Today is an exciting day for me to be guest-hosting on BERNINA’s blog because it is finally time to share a special project I’ve had in the works for some time, (drumroll please…) my BERNINA 990 Placemats!

I do a lot of design work in my job, from fabric and rulers to patterns and digital designs, but it is a special treat to get to design something for a specific machine because then I can really delve into how to use specific features to their best advantage.

What is special about the B 990?  There are lots of things, and even in this small piece, I was able to pack in many amazing features, including: 4-Point Placement, the Pinpoint Laser, the Placement Scanner, Jumbo Stitch, and the BISR.

I user the lovely BISR in Mode 2 for rulerwork, and then switched to Mode 1 for free-motion.  Quitting is my favorite EVERY SINGLE TIME!

I wrote up a pattern in case other B 990 owners might like to make their own set of placemats.
