Most Space

Room for big ideas! The 820 offers substantially more space than other sewing machines. The 400 mm (15 inch) extended arm and over 300 mm (12 inches) to the right of the needle provide a huge space for spreading out and manoeuvring your project.

Fastest Speeds

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.

Total Stitch Control

A Bernina exclusive: Each stitch can be customised and saved The revolutionary high speed BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) ensures total control of your free motion sewing - fast or slow, your stitches remain even and consistent letting you concentrate on your creativity.

Central Screen

The touch screen is centrally located for ideal ergonomics, so that the needle area and the screen with all its settings, can be viewed completely in one quick glance. The 5-inch TFT screen gives high-resolution images and bright vivid colours from all viewing angles. Large on-screen icons enable quick navigation, and its gently touch-sensitive surface allows particularly user- friendly operation.

BERNINA Dual Feed

Reliable feed of hard-to-handle materials! Working with knits, velvet, ribbon or multiple layers? The BERNINA 820’s built-in Dual Feed can be engaged when needed, to feed the fabric from both above and below. The Dual Feed System offers optimum visibility and superb manoeuvrability. Simply flip up and tuck away when not required.

Fully Automatic Threading

Simple threading, automatically! The BERNINA 820 has its own unique system for taking the thread through the machine and the needle, in a single operation. Because it’s done quickly and automatically, it leaves you more time to focus on the fun side of sewing and embroidering.

Optimum Thread-Supply System

The exclusive multi-spool holder keeps large, medium and small cones at the ready. The built-in vertical holders and telescopic guides ensure beautifully smooth and even thread release. The bobbin winder is located on the front of the 820 for easy access, and it even lets you select speed and amount of fill.

The Touchscreen

The 5-inch touchscreen offers high-resolution images and brilliant colours and is beautifully touch-sensitive and responsive – ultimate user-friendliness, with every- thing in your central field of vision. At the touch of the screen, cutting-edge technology lets you choose from the wealth of innovative functions and features, and personalised settings.

Stitch Selection: With 350 stitch patterns and sewing stitches plus characters, a total of over 770 imaginative stitches – over 100 of which were developed exclusively for the BERNINA 8 Series – are available to you, to combine however you like.

Quilting: The exclusive BERNINA BSR system makes free-motion quilting much easier with beautiful even stitches at whatever speed you work. Built-in Dual Feed allows for smooth feeding of all the layers of your quilt. The clearance between presser foot and stitch plate

is adjustable up to 7 mm, letting you easily reposition thicker layers with the presser foot in hover position.

Memory options: You can customise stitch patterns by changing stitch width/length or tension and store these changes in either of 2 personal programs, ready to use again when needed. The stitch memory function lets you combine and record up to 50 stitch patterns, letters and numbers in up to 30 separate drawers.

Appliqué & Patchwork: A wealth of stitch designs including stippling and feathering, specially designed for appliqué and patchwork projects, are available for you to choose from.

Customised Buttonholes: As well as on-screen setting of the buttonhole length, the slit width can also be changed – from 0.1 to 2 mm – to accommodate any type of button you may be using. The buttonholes can then be perfectly repeated as often as you wish.

Tapering: Team your creativity with new techniques. With tapering, the beginning and end of the stitch patterns taper to a point. Choose from four different basic stitch angles, for even more creativity.

Needle Chart: You can tell the BERNINA 820 which needle is inserted by simply selecting from the built-in needle chart. On starting this information appears automatically as a quick reminder, letting you focus on the creative side of things.
