Ready to thread some new skills into your embroidery hobby? Join us for a heartwarming journey into the world of software-based cross stitch! In this class, we’ll be diving into the CrossStitch tool within BERNINA’s powerful v9 DesignerPlus software, where tradition meets tech with every click and stitch.
Whether you're a lifelong needle artist or just dabbling in digital, you’ll learn how to create your very own cross stitch designs right on screen. We’ll cover how to transform hand cross stitch patterns into machine-ready masterpieces — no hoops left behind!
By the end of class, we’ll be digitizing a delightful snow globe design and stitching it out together, bringing your work from screen to scene — no frosty experience necessary.
This class is equal parts creativity, camaraderie, and computer magic. You’ll leave with new skills, a wintery stitched keepsake, and a few new friends to count stitches with.
So come join the fun — it’s going to be sew worth it!
This class is open to students with BERNINA 9 DesignerPlus Software.
No prior embroidery experience required, though basic knowledge of machine operation is helpful. Don't forget to bring your enthusiasm!
Supply list is below and a 20% is available for any necessary supplies after you have registered for class.
If you are new to software, or need a refresher, it is highly recommended to take the monthly Intro to Bernina V9 software class before coming to this class.
Remember to bring your laptop with the software fully installed. Test ALL software functions, not just opening the program. Don't forget your mouse, mouse pad, and computer power cord.
Action Required: You must open and fully test your software at home before arriving to class. This is critical because software support will not be available in the classroom, and there is no time in class to install or update the software.
Any technical difficulties with software installation or functionality need to be resolved in advance.
Taking the time now to verify everything works properly will save you frustration later and help us dive straight into the exciting curriculum we have planned.
Bring a notepad and pen/pencil.
