Bernina 990 Sewing, Quilting & Embroidery Machine

The Ultimate Bernina Sewing, Quilting & Embroidery Experience

The Bernina 990 is the flagship sewing, quilting and embroidery machine from BERNINA. Designed for serious sewists, quilters and embroidery enthusiasts, the B990 combines cutting-edge technology with the legendary stitch quality that Bernina is known for.

Whether you’re creating detailed embroidery designs, quilting large projects or producing professional-quality garments, the Bernina 990 offers unrivalled precision, power and creative freedom. Featuring an extra-large touchscreen, Pinpoint Laser, Integrated Stitch Regulation, Giant Embroidery Hoop capability and an enormous sewing space, this machine has been designed to help you achieve outstanding results on every project.

Duncan’s Thoughts

I’ve been fortunate enough to demonstrate and work with many Bernina machines over the years, and the Bernina 990 genuinely feels like a step forward from anything that has come before it.

What impresses me most isn’t just the technology—it’s how intuitive it feels to use. The large screen is incredibly responsive, the stitch quality is exceptional and features like the Pinpoint Laser make positioning embroidery and decorative stitching easier than ever before.

If you’re somebody who quilts regularly, creates intricate embroidery designs or simply wants the very best sewing machine Bernina currently produces, then the B990 is an outstanding investment.

That said, this isn’t a machine for everybody. If you only sew occasionally, there may be better-value options within the Bernina range. However, if sewing is your passion and you want a machine that removes limitations and helps bring your ideas to life, the Bernina 990 is difficult to beat.

Why Choose the Bernina 990?

Extra-Large Sewing Space

The Bernina 990 offers one of the largest workspaces available on a domestic sewing machine, making it ideal for:

The generous space allows large projects to be managed comfortably without constantly fighting the weight of the fabric.

This provides greater confidence and more professional-looking quilting results.
