BERNINA 990

The Giant Embroidery Hoop is an absolute game-changer for large quilt projects—I loaded a 16-inch design and it fed through without a single tug. Setup took me about ten minutes, and the stitches are so precise I don't need to recheck my work.

That extended freearm with 14 inches to the right of the needle is a game changer for quilting—I can finally wrestle a bulky king-size quilt through without it bunching up. The giant embroidery hoop swallowed a full jacket back panel in one pass, which honestly made me grin. It's a hefty investment,

I was a little skeptical about the giant embroidery hoop at first, but it handled my king-size quilt project with no fabric bunching or shifting. The 14-inch space to the right of the needle made maneuvering the bulk so much easier than my old machine.
