huge space for spreading out and manoeuvring your project.

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

Jumbo Bobbin
Thanks to a substantially larger bobbin, the Bernina 820 offers
40% more thread capacity; you spend more time creating
and less time preparing. What’s more, the jumbo bobbin is
wonderfully easy to use – open the lid, the hook swings out
and the bobbin releases at the touch of a finger.

and superb manoeuvrability. Simply flip up and tuck away when

unique system for taking the thread through the machine and
the needle, in a single operation. Because it’s done quickly and
