Only the priest and the Sox fan know for sure. ;-)

Okay, Frank -- I'd say that a Gammill does negate the need for the new
Bernina. <G> Good luck finding something else, though! LOL!

IT does seem like they could have picked some different numbers !
I have a Bernina 930 mechanical and it works like a charm. Sometimes
I've wondered how machines are named...Pfaff went from 1475 to I think
7550...then 7570 and then back down I believe. Usually products
are named by how the name would appeal to the public so that they
will buy, but apparently the numbers assigned to sewing machines aren't ?

I watched the webcast, too, John. *If* I had the money for it and for a
table (and a place to put said machine and table <g>), I think the 820
sounds wonderful. I don't have the embroidery module for my 630, so I
could live quite nicely without one on this new model. However, it's not
going to happen, so it's a very good thing that I really, *really* like
my 630. <G>
