BERNINA Quilt Menu

Of all the decorative stitches on my BERNINA 790 PLUS, I have the most fun with the ones on the Quilt Menu. Many of the current BERNINA models have the Quilt Menu, 13-66 stitches, depending on the model. This menu has multiple stitch options for quilters such as a straight stitch set for piecing and a range of decorative stitches for appliqué and crazy patch.
