Frequently Asked Questions

Which BERNINA machines is this USB stick compatible with?

The BERNINA 16 GB USB Stick has been tested and guaranteed compatible with select BERNINA 4, 5, 7, and 8 Series machines, as well as the Q 16, Q 20, Q 24 longarm systems, and the L 890. Some models — including the B 560, B 580, and B 710 — may require a software update before use. If you are unsure whether your specific machine is supported, contact OSP Machines and we will confirm compatibility for you.

Can I use any USB drive with my BERNINA machine, or does it need to be the official BERNINA USB stick?

BERNINA recommends using the official BERNINA USB stick because it has been specifically tested for compatibility with their machines. While some third-party USB drives may work, BERNINA does not guarantee their performance, and incompatible drives can cause errors during design transfer or software updates. Using the official stick eliminates that uncertainty.

What types of files can I store on this USB stick?

You can store embroidery design files (including formats used by BERNINA Embroidery Software), quilting patterns, machine software updates, and general backups of your machine's settings and data. The 16 GB capacity is generous enough to hold a large library of embroidery designs alongside update files.

Does this USB stick come with any designs or software pre-loaded?

No, the BERNINA USB Stick ships empty and ready for you to load your own files. It does not include pre-loaded embroidery designs or software. You would use it in combination with BERNINA Embroidery Software or another compatible program to transfer designs to your machine.

What warranty or support comes with this purchase?

OSP Machines is an authorized BERNINA dealer and provides free support for the life of your machine. If you have any questions about using the USB stick with your machine, transferring files, or troubleshooting, our support team is available to help at no charge for as long as you own the product.
