Bernina 820 and frame
#1
Hi - I'm thinking of buying one. I already have the 440QE and love it but I'm just so tired of wrestling with my large quilts while quilting. A longarm is not an option as they are not available in Kuwait and shipping one in is way too expensive. Does anyone have one and what are your thoughts?

I agree with Candace. That's an expensive machine to keep on a frame. I have a Juki TL98Q on my Handiquilter frame and I love it. The Juki is a high speed straight stitch machine and costs about $900-1000. I've also heard great things about the Janome 1600P. They both have longer throats and fit nicely on quilting frames.

Though it sounds like this person wants the huge harp size and Juki doesn't provide that.
