BERNINA V9 DesignerPlus Upgrade from V9 Creator - Includes WiFi Device

BERNINA V9 DesignerPlus Upgrade from V9 Creator expands an existing V9 Creator license to the DesignerPlus level. Keep the editing and digitizing workflow you know while adding advanced design tools, integrated CorelDRAW SE, and the Quilter and Cross Stitch applications. This package includes a BERNINA WiFi Device for transferring designs to a compatible embroidery machine.

Use the broader DesignerPlus toolset to develop coordinated embroidery, explore freehand design and specialty effects, and plan larger compositions with multi-hooping. The extra tools give you more ways to construct and refine a design; a test stitchout remains an essential part of preparing any project.

Only available at the World Weidner Creative Center in Oklahoma City. Visit us for an in-store demo!

Product Specifications

Main Features

• Full DesignerPlus design workspace: Develop original embroidery with manual and automatic digitizing, then refine stitch objects, sequencing, fills, and outlines for the project.
• Integrated graphics: Use CorelDRAW SE in the Artwork Canvas to prepare graphics alongside embroidery. This is the included SE edition, rather than a promise of every feature in separately sold CorelDRAW products.
• Expanded lettering: Explore the larger font library and Keyboard Design Collection tools for organizing character designs into keyboard-accessible collections.
• More creative techniques: Add freehand embroidery, advanced appliqué combinations, specialty effects, and the dedicated Quilter and Cross Stitch applications to your workflow.
• Multi-hooping: Plan a composition across multiple hoop positions when the design exceeds one stitching field. Hooping accuracy and the machine's limits still determine what can be stitched.
• Wireless design transfer: Use the included WiFi Device with a compatible USB-capable embroidery machine and a suitable network, or use the machine's supported conventional transfer method.

What You Receive & In-Store Availability

• DesignerPlus upgrade package: Installation media and an activation product key for upgrading an eligible V9 Creator license, plus the BERNINA WiFi Device.
• In-store availability: This software is available only at the World Weidner Creative Center in Oklahoma City. An installer download does not replace the purchased license or make this an instant-download product.
• Existing license required: Have the account and license details for your V9 Creator purchase available before activating the upgrade.
• Project supplies: Thread, needles, stabilizer, fabric, and any optional specialty tools are purchased separately.

System Requirements & Machine Compatibility

Windows computer: BERNINA lists Windows 10/11 (64-bit), Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 3, 8 GB RAM, 40 GB free disk space, and a 1366 × 768 display as minimums. It recommends 16 GB RAM and 60 GB free space. USB access is needed for applicable installation/transfer tasks. Check the complete current requirements before buying.

Mac users: V9 is not a native macOS application. BERNINA documents Windows installation on Intel-based Macs through Boot Camp, with limited support for Parallels. Confirm your exact Mac and Windows setup with BERNINA before purchasing.

Embroidery machine: Save an editable ART working file, then export the format and file version accepted by your machine. BERNINA documents EXP and other machine formats, including PES. Check your machine's manual for transfer method, hoop size, and supported file version; the software does not enlarge the physical embroidery area. Read the machine-file export guide.

WiFi: The included device works with compatible machines that read designs from USB media; it does not make every machine wireless. Check USB and network compatibility before relying on this transfer method. Read about the WiFi Connector and Device.

License & Getting Started

The license is for one user, with installation on up to three devices and use on one device at a time. Sign out and release the license before moving use to another computer. Internet access is required for activation and periodic validation; BERNINA requires reconnection at least every 30 days for offline use. Keep your product key and account details secure. Read BERNINA's license and sign-in guidance.

1. Check eligibility: Confirm that your current license is V9 Creator and have its registration details ready. A previous V6/V7/V8 license needs a different package.
2. Install: Follow the supplied installation instructions and BERNINA's official guide, using an administrator account where required.
3. Activate the upgrade: Follow the manufacturer prompts for your existing Creator license and the new upgrade key. Contact BERNINA support if the existing license cannot be identified; do not register it as an unrelated full-version purchase.
4. Set up the added tools: Follow the CorelDRAW account/activation prompts and configure the WiFi Device if you intend to use wireless transfer.
5. Test before the final project: Stitch a sample with the intended fabric, stabilizer, needle, and thread, then adjust the design if needed.

Creative Projects You Can Complete

Original appliqué and coordinated embroidery: Develop a motif from your own drawing, plan its appliqué pieces, and carry the same design language into embroidered borders or matching lettering. Keep a master design so later size or color changes are easier to manage.

Quilt planning and labels: Use the Quilter application to explore a layout, then develop an embroidered label or coordinating motifs for the finished quilt. Keep construction measurements and embroidery placement as separate checks so the stitched design suits the completed piece.

Larger decorative compositions: Use multi-hooping to plan a design for a panel, cushion, or garment section that needs more than one hoop position. Print and check the layout first, mark reliable reference points, and test the registration on spare material.
