Scan backdrops & fabrics

Use Edit > Scan Artwork to scan a bitmap image or fabric into BERNINA Quilter.

The scanning feature in BERNINA V9 allows you to use most TWAIN-compatible scanners. You can use any scanning software provided that it can save the image in one of the compatible formats. When scanning a fabric, set the scan to 256 colors, 100% and 72 dpi (dots per inch). These settings will give a small file which will display well on your screen without taking up too much disk space or memory.

Tip  If an image needs to be resized or rotated, it is best to do so during scanning. Scaling afterwards may distort the image.
