I took a workshop at a Bernina dealer and got to use the new 820. It was super nice. Everything is automatic, push a button and the bobbin come out automatically, just take the bobbin out and replace, push a button and it goes back in and sets itself perfectly. The bobbin is about triple a regular bobbin size! So many buttons though! I set it to machine quilt a 12" design and just sat back and watched. The only thing I didn't like was it had high vibration. The machine was in the Bernina cabinet that comes with the machine and mounted perfectly. I thought the high vibration was annoying for such an expensive machine. I would have to think a lot before I bought one, I really think it's overkill for a sewing machine. The price at the dealer was over $10,000. The choice of sewing cabinet or machine quilting frame comes with the machine.
