Beyond Just Embroidery
Our embroidery software extends your stitching creativity with three additional programs, all included with both EditorPlus and DesignerPlus.

BERNINA Quilter
Overlap art forms with this powerful, easy-to-use patchwork program. It enables both experienced and first time quilters to skillfully combine embroidery techniques and quilting patterns. The intuitive interface lets you lay out your quilt pattern, choose fabrics and colors, add embroideries and appliqués. It will even print your fabric list and cutting templates! Designing and previewing tools let you refine every detail before you even begin stitching.

BERNINA Cross Stitch
You can easily replicate traditional cross-stitch embroidery techniques. Let the software convert images for you or manually create your own patterns. With a few clicks, you can copy your design or color photo, add the final touches and stitch it out.

PhotoSnap
Create keepsake gifts by digitizing your own pictures and/or photos and turning them into fine embroidery. With one click, you can fashion textural designs from photos or graphical images. Crop, rescale and alter stitch angles for variety and interest.
