About This Class

Get ready for a seriously inspiring FREE session! We’re thrilled to welcome Connie Fanders, longtime BERNINA educator and one of the brilliant minds behind the development and design of the brand‑new BERNINA 990. This event takes place IN STORE at Quilting Mayhem, and Connie will be joining us virtually to walk you through the features, functions, and thoughtful details that make this machine such a game‑changer for embroidery enthusiasts. 

Connie’s embroidery expertise runs deep—design creation, in‑the‑hoop techniques, specialty threads, you name it—and she knows the 990 inside and out. During this event, she’ll show you how its innovative embroidery tools and intuitive software can elevate your stitching, spark new ideas, and make your creative process smoother than ever.

While Connie teaches virtually, you’ll be here in the shop with us, enjoying the full in‑store experience, seeing the machine up close, and learning alongside fellow makers. It’s a rare chance to learn directly from someone who helped shape the machine from the ground up.

You won’t want to miss this one.
