Having problems?

The Bernina Mastery Workbooks are LARGE files and will take some time to download.

Many people have reported that the Adobe Acrobat Reader "hangs" (never shows the file) when viewing large PDF files in their browser window. The work-around is to save the file and view it directly from Acrobat. Here's how:

• Instead of "clicking" on the link to the workbook, RIGHT CLICK on the link and a menu will pop up.
• Select "Save Target As". A file dialog box will pop up (showing some folder on your computer . . usually the last folder you downloaded something to)
• Select where you want the file to be saved, and REMEMBER the location, so you can find it.
• Click "Save".
• Using your Windows File Explorer on your computer, locate the saved file.
• Double-click on the file and it should come up in Acrobat.
• You may view the workbook on screen, or you may print the workbook pages.
