Discover how to create classic cross stitch with the precision and flexibility of BERNINA Embroidery Software 9. This class introduces the Cross Stitch application, showing how to launch it, set up your grid and fabric count, and plan a design that fits your hoop and project.
You’ll learn how to place individual stitches, fill areas, change colors, and adjust density so your stitched designs look crisp on fabric. Along the way, you’ll see how to save and send your cross stitch creations back into V9 for embroidery, giving you a smooth path from on‑screen chart to stitched masterpiece.
