We are so excited to introduce the Bernina 820 machine. This machine shows the quality and excellence that customers expect from a Bernina. Similar to the Bernina 830E some of the most exciting functions on the Bernina 820 are Size and Speed. This machine offers many of the compelling features of the 830, including The Bernina Dual Feed, Bernina Stitch Regulator, a 12 inch free-arm and up to 1100 Stitches per minute.

The BERNINA 820. Offering the kind of high-performance features that’ll allow you to create more, create bigger and create longer than ever before. Which is why the 820 earns the highest marks from quilters. Not to mention fashion designers, fiber artists and crafters.The Bernina 820 is truly a Quilters Dream Machine!

Room for great new sewing ideas! The 820 offers substantially more space than a standard sewing machine, or than the other BERNINA models. The approx. 400-mm (15-inch) extended arm and over 300 mm (12 inches) to the right of the needle provide ample space for your projects,allowing for easy spreading out and manoeuvring the fabrics.

Fastest Speeds
Top speeds with excellent sewing results and perfect stitch formation! The BERNINA 820 delivers up to 1,100 stitches per minute in sewing mode, consistently guaranteeing fast speeds, even with wider stitches.

Jumbo Bobbin
Thanks to a substantially larger bobbin, the BERNINA 820 offers 40% more thread capacity, thereby reducing your set-up time and leaving you more time for the creative side of things. What’s more, the jumbo bobbin is easy to use: When the hinged lid is opened, the hook swings out and the bobbin pops out at the touch of a finger.

    I have just purchased the Bernia 820 and the Bernia Quilt frame, I also have a Bernia 730, which I bought about five years ago. I was given a great CD on how to essemble the Bernia frame. It is the best CD I have ever seen. You will have no trouble putting the frame together if you use the CD. My question to you is, do you have a CD on the Bernis 820 Sewing machine that will help in any probelms I may have in running this machine. One that shows how to thread the bobbin and to thread the machine or use other designs etc.
    I love my machines and do alot of quilting.
    I appreciate any help you can give me in this matter.
    Sincerely Merle LeFevre

    i am very interested in purchasing the 820. It sounds fantastic. Would you please post or respond the physical measurements of the 820? I can’t find them in any of the Bernina brochures or on the website.

    Thanks,
    RM
