It even has a clock i it. I told Pfaff ten years ago they should have had one on the 7570 so I could keep track of time and not forget to pick up my kids from school. They laughed and send me an embroidery clock kit. Going to have to do some serious saving to get myself an 820.

Yep, I have machines on hand that I'll give to my daughters when they are grown as well. They are Pfaff machines, but they aren't doing the kind of sewing and quilting that I am, and they aren't as picky! I think I'm going to be saving for the 820 myself. Thanks for stopping by!

Too bad we just bought a house that needs total renovation. From 1969, all original was done to very high standard 40 years ago, but problem is nothing was changed. Another blog. Finally someone has come up with my dream machine--the 820 that is. I've had them all. Pfaff--I have one still because of the dual feed too, Designer 1--hated it, Bernina 180 and 150, Husqvarna Daisy, Singer, Janome a little one and the most recent one with the wide throat, 1600P? didn't like that one either and the Pfaff Grand Quilter oh yeah a Pfaff 2044, have I forgotten any. Pobably. Oh, yeah, forgot about the Gammill I had when I was a professional quilter. Had them all for a year or two then sold them. What do I have now? The Bernina Anniversary edition--that one meets my needs as a sewer and quilter except it doesn't have an auto thread cutter. Why not bernina? I would have paid the extra cash for it. Great machine except for that little thing. I hate strings. I also have a pfaff 2027?, the lower end computer machine just to have for the IDT, well I gave it to my daughter. Looks like I am going to have to start saving for this one. I can always give the Bernina anniversary edition to my daughter and sell the pfaff, like you said it is no longer needed. I don't do embroidery, have in the past, but it's just not my cup of tea. I like to quilt and sew. If I do want to embroider I can always get the embroidery module for the anniversary edition. My embroidery tastes are simple and can't justify spending extra thousands on a machine for this. I live in the Netherlnads and you guys in the states always get everything well before us. I look forward to hearing more from you and being part of this blog. Anybody like Amy Butler? I just sewed up 2 duvet covers, 2 giant pillows and 2 poofs on my Bernina. What a great machine! I love Bernina, always have, always will. Patty in Holland WOW, I almost fell off my chair when I saw the price, but not really, it was expected.
