Join us for our BERNINA V9 Software education series, beginning with Computer Basics, a foundational class designed to prepare students for our ongoing Software Skill Workshops.
BERNINA V9 Software: Computer Basics is designed for students who would like additional confidence using a computer before diving into embroidery software. This introductory class serves as a prerequisite for future BERNINA V9 Software Skill Workshops and is required for students who are not yet comfortable with basic computer functions.
Deena will guide you through the essential computer skills needed to successfully use BERNINA Embroidery Software, including navigating the operating system, creating and organizing folders, managing files, locating saved designs, and understanding basic computer terminology and workflows.
Whether you're brand new to computers or simply looking for a refresher, this class will help build a strong foundation so you can get the most from future software classes and feel more confident working with your embroidery software.
What to Bring:
• Your personal laptop*
• Charging cord
• Mouse
*Please note: BERNINA Embroidery Software is compatible with Windows PCs only. Tablets and Mac computers are not supported for this class.
