What's The Story Behind All The Icons?

We have the details!

Ever wonder what all the icons on your embroidery screen are trying to tell you? Wonder no more, learn to decode the icons, buttons and mystery symbols on your embroidery screen—and find out exactly why they’re there. Each icon has a job to do, and we’ll show you how to make the most of them. By the end, you’ll be fluent in your machine’s secret language—no Rosetta Stone required.

"Where Did I Save That Flower Design?"

Have you asked this before?

We’ve all been there—scrolling, swiping, searching… and still no sign of that embroidery design we thought we saved in our machine. Learn how to save, name, and organize your embroidery and quilt designs in your Personal Folder so they’re always right where you need them. Plus, we’ll show you how to transfer an entire design collection from a USB stick to your B 990, so your creative treasures are ready whenever inspiration strikes. Goodbye, chaos—hello, sorted and stitch-ready designs.
