Design Graphics from Scratch with CorelDRAW® SE
If you love to draw or want to create custom logos or motifs, BERNINA Software 9 includes CorelDRAW SE 2021.
This graphic design tool lets you sketch, edit, and fine-tune vector graphics before converting them to embroidery.
Choose from pre-loaded designs or start fresh. Once done, you can send it wirelessly to your machine. It’s an ideal workflow for creatives who want original, branded, or artistic designs.
Intuitive Interface with Customizable Views
Navigating through your software should never be frustrating. With Software 9, you can choose between small or large icons, turn tool labels on or off, and even open multiple design files at once.
The intuitive menu makes learning new tools easy, and the flexibility in layout lets you work in the way that suits you best.
Type Your Alphabets—Even Handwritten Ones
The new Keyboard Design Collection gives you a fast, flexible way to create text-based embroidery. Map any alphabet design to your keyboard, and type it directly onto your layout—no more dragging letters one by one. Want to digitize your handwriting or a custom font? You can do that too. It even includes five new font styles to expand your creative toolkit.
Precise Design Placement
The Easy Positioning tool lets you place your design exactly where you want it in the hoop. Use printable templates and onscreen preview guides to move, rotate, or align designs with precision. Add basting stitches to hold fabric in place, and use print preview options to double-check your layout before stitching. This feature is a lifesaver for aligning borders, quilting blocks, or multi-part designs.
Turn Photos & Artwork into Embroidery
The updated Auto-Digitizing tool lets you take any piece of artwork or a photo and transform it into a ready-to-stitch embroidery design in just a few clicks. Want more control?
Use Manual Digitizing to trace and fine-tune stitch types and directions. This combo is perfect whether you’re digitizing a child’s drawing, a logo, or your own illustration.
Create Unique Appliqués with One Click
Want to turn a shape into an appliqué design? Now you can do it with a single click.
The extended appliqué tools let you convert any closed shape—including designs with internal cutouts—into an appliqué patch.
You can even save cutting files for machines like Silhouette or ScanNCut directly from your embroidery canvas. It’s ideal for crafting, patch-making, or mixed media projects.
100+ Embroidery Fonts, Ready to Stitch
Software 9 comes with over 100 professional embroidery fonts, including stylish handwritten styles. Each font shows a recommended size range, so you always get clean, legible stitching.
The font preview window now lets you enlarge samples and even displays your recently used fonts at the bottom—making it easier to stay consistent across projects.
Organize Designs with the Built-In Library
The integrated Design Library acts as your central hub for managing embroidery files. Search, filter, group, and tag your designs for quick access. Whether you have 20 or 2000 files, this system keeps everything tidy and searchable.
Best of all, you can send designs directly to your embroidery machine’s WiFi device from here—saving time and keeping your workflow organized.
Transform Photos into 3D Stitch Art
Using Color Photo Stitch, you can turn your favorite photo into embroidery with realistic color shading and texture.
Want more dimension? Add Puffy Lettering for 3D effects, or use Couching with yarn or wool for a rich, tactile finish. New features like the Globe Effect even let you warp flat designs into eye-catching 3D embroidery. Perfect for portraits, branding, or decorative projects.
Advanced Color Control
Choosing the right thread color just got easier. With the Color Wheel and a palette of 56 base colors (plus 3 for appliqué), you can preview how your design will look before stitching.
Palette positions are numbered, and chosen shades are marked with a blue tag—making color changes more organized and efficient.
Multi-Hooping for Large Embroidery Projects
The Multi-Hooping tool automatically calculates how many hoop placements are needed and optimizes the layout. You can preview each hooping sequence and export as one design or multiple files.
This is ideal for creating borders, large back panels, quilts, or artwork that spans multiple frames.
Automated Quilt Embroidery
The Automated Quilt Block Layout makes quilting with embroidery easier than ever. You can add echo quilting, scroll fills, or stippling to your designs.
The software also provides sizing and positioning aids for quilt blocks, helping you match your embroidery precisely to your fabric layout.
Great for custom quilts, memory blankets, or decorative home projects.
