Okay--tell me--the uninformed more! It's a Bernina?? Does it do both embroidery and quilt? What are the special features that make it to drool over? I guess I could look it up somewhere, but it's more fun to hear it from all of you!! :lol: Congrats! New machines are so much fun! Giggle while you sew!

My husband surprised me with the Bernina 820 last Christmas!! I have not been off of it for over a year! I love it so much...You will too....If they offer you a class definitely take it. This machine does so much and I still find things I didn't know it was capable of...
Have so much fun and Enjoy your new toy!!!

I have the same machine and the same cabinet. I left the machine table attached, but discovered I have to raise the machine everytime I wanted to change the bobbin. Also it is so heavy my cabinet shelf wanted to drop slightly with the weight. A friend actually ordered a new heavy duty lift for her cabinet for that machine. I have now put my machine on a different desk until I decide about getting the heavier lift. Do you have any problems with the weight on the cabinet shelf? I even locked the lift but it still did not want to handle the weight of the 820.
