www.bernina.co... | Welcome to a world of creativity! Introducing the BERNINA 990 - high performance, exceptional quality and superb stitch technology to create magic.
Bernina should really start a rerun of making and selling the vintage 830 and the 807. They would sell these with ease! And there is definitely demand for them. I absolutely love my 807 and 830 both still stitch beautifully and are so reliable I will never part with them as they are fully serviceable and will out live me. They hold their prices because they are great sturdy full metal bodied machines. Unlike the new computerised and plastic part machines. We Sewists, seamstresses and tailors don’t need hundreds of different stitches most of use solely use straight stitch and zig zag and nothing is better than the vintage 807 and 830. Please Bernina see sense and start re making and selling these machines again and their spare parts. There is a reason there are so many of these amazing machines still in use and still hold such demand.
Hi there, thank you very much for your comment. Yes, the vintage 8 series models are great. The 830 record alone was produced hundreds of thousands of times in the seventies and eighties and is still appreciated by many seamstresses around the world today. As you may know, BERNINA had a similar model in its range until a few years ago, the BERNINA 1008. Demand for this model has steadily declined and, in the end, was so low that we had to stop production. Fortunately, our current machines are also extremely robust and by no means made of plastic, as can be seen in the video above. They also offer a wide range of creative possibilities and are clearly superior to purely mechanical models in this respect. If you are looking for an 830 record or any other BERNINA old-timer, you will find it on second-hand platforms. We really love our old machines, but as a company we have to move forward technologically and change with the needs of sewists around the globe. BERNINA stands for Swiss quality, but also for advanced Swiss engineering. This was already the case in the eighties. If we hadn't developed since then, BERNINA would no longer exist.
