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 activated when needed, to feed the fabric from both above and below. The Dual Feed System offers optimum visibility and superb manoeuverability. Simply flip up and tuck away when no longer required.

Total Stitch Control

A BERNINA exclusive: Each stitch pattern can be customised and saved! The BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) ensures total control as you sew. The revolutionary BSR System makes free-motion easy and your stitches remain consistent, whatever your speed.

Automatic Threading

Simple threading, automatically! The BERNINA 820 has a unique system which threads the machine and the needle, in a single operation.

It’s done quickly and automatically, giving you more time to sew.
