Just bought a Bernina 820
 

I just picked up my new Bernina 820 on Friday. After much debate and research on this machine vs a midarm for the same price to fit on my Bernina frame, I went with the 820. I am sewing on it now, and will put it on my frame when I get it set up. It will be hard to leave it there. This will probably be the last machine I ever buy because it has everything I could possible want in a machine. (I already have a machine that embroiders) Thanks to all that gave me insight on which way to go.

congratulations on your new machine

Congratulations on yur new machine! Happy sewing!

Enjoy your new baby.

way to go i got a new 640 bernia this year
and love it.

Wow that is a beauty! I am computer challenged so I figured it was too much machine for me. I have seen the Bernina frame and 820 doing the computerized quilting motifs and it is awesome. Congratulations!

You can never go wrong when purchasing a Bernina. I love mine and will never buy anything else. Great machines.

I would also like the 830 to replace my 180, but I still love my 180. I just want the large embroidery field. Congrats on your new Bernina. You chose well.

congratulations! i have the 830 and love it! How do you like those 360 directional stitches? I think they are amazing!

Quilt On!!!

Congrats. Have fun with your new baby. It sounds like a wonderful machine.

Congrats! I haven't yet put my 820 on the frame. I enjoy sewing with it so much. There are at least two yahoo groups for the 8 series machines-free to join and very helpful. Plus a blog: http://8seriesowners.blogspot.com/20....html#comments

I have had mine for about 9 months...and am still learning! It has so many features and is "fun to drive".

Congrats I recently got the 550 and I am in love with it the 800 series I was looking at as well but couldn't bring myself to spend that much more on the machine. I got the BSR and the Free Motion on this one so I'm happy with that - happy sewing!

Congrats! I love my bernina frame... And use it with a non-bernina machine.

congrats from another Bernina lover

I am green with envy; but very happy for you. I have a 1530 Bernina and have looked at the 820 model. A lady in Unionville, Mo., just bought one...if wishes were sewing machines, I wonder how many would we own?? Enjoy it for of us who wish for one like yours.
