With the Bernina V9 Creator embroidery software, you get fantastic, professional-level tools for creating embroidery files and embroidery fonts. And if you want more, you can upgrade later.

BERNINA V9 Creator Sticksoftware - Make ma!

Your introduction to the world of professional embroidery files.

We think V9 Creator is fantastic – especially because it offers many features otherwise only found in professional programs like Wilcom. We're especially excited about the fact that you can directly access your computer's system fonts and use them immediately as embroidery fonts – without any detours or add-ons.

Another highlight: The software can even open and edit .EMB files – a format previously reserved exclusively for the Wilcom world. This makes V9 Creator a true all-rounder, especially for those who want high-quality results without having to jump into the big licensing models.

In short: For us, the V9 Creator is the perfect solution for creative embroidery professionals with high standards – and all without a subscription.
