Husqvarna Viking Designer SE
This wonderful embroidery machine was a no brainer for me since it's sold locally in my wonderful quilt shop...can I mention it's name? I've been away from sewing for years, but when I discovered that my little town (that has no other decent shopping) has this wonderful quilt shop tucked away in a strip mall, I was hooked! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw an embroidery design being created by machine! I didn't research any further since I liked the idea of buying locally where my machine can be serviced on a regular basis. Great classes at my shop, too, have given me the confidence I need to persue this fantastic world of quilting!Tags: None

drewfield, the walking foot is essential, IMHO! I use the walking foot often, not only for quilts, but quilted garments as well...anytime I make a "sandwich". I wish the walking foot wasn't as costly as it is, especially considering the price of the machines!
It would be nice if sewing machine manufacturers would include a walking foot as a standard feature. My hubby was very pleased with a little Janome he bought me a few years ago for Christmas, and I was amazed that it came standard with a walking foot! Of course, at that time, I didn't even know what a walking foot was, just that it was a funny looking contraption!

I have the same situation - the local quilt shops by me carry Viking. A few years a go I upgraded from my little Singer that I had since I was a teenager to the Viking Freesia 415. It was at the time the lowest priced computerized machine but was still a budget-buster for me. I am so glad I got it. I love it and use it for piecing and machine quilting. My next machine will be in the Viking Designer series since I am fascinated by the embroidery functions. Luckily, my hubby is a believer in buying the best tool for the job so I'll be able to justify the cost :-) .

Lystger, I have noticed that snobbiness a bit, too. When a few of us are asked what machines we have, we'd say, I have a Pfaff, or I have a Viking, whatever, but invariably there would be a couple of "Well I have a Bernina", with this kind of upraised nose look. The rest of us just roll our eyes.

Does anyone have a Designer I Husqvarna Viking? If so, do you have the Embroidery attachment and/or the Free Motion Quilting attachment? I've been using mine, as time permits, for about5 months now and am having difficulty justifying the cost - don't really want to say how much - but trust me it was a pretty (MANY) pennies!
How do you like it? How long did it take you to get the hang of it? My sewing experience to date prior to this purchase was with a Necchi and a Kenmore - neither of which have any bells and whistles at all like this Designer I does.
Any helpful hints/tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! (Can you tell I am frustrated with the machine? :? )

KKreations, I have the Designer SE with embroidery unit and in January I purchased (OUCH!) the Fabric Mover. I'm just now beginning to get the hang of it, but in all honesty, it's been in the box for a long while until recently (hubby doesn't know I bought it!) I really can't say I can justify the expense, yet, but I did get brave enough to use the Fabric Mover on a lap size quilt last week. It came out okay for a first effort...it's definitely "free motion"!ops: It's fun to use on small projects...wall hanging, purses, etc. but I don't know about a full size quilt. It's a bit difficult to maneuver...there's a learning curve...practice, practice, practice. Of course, now I understand that Viking is coming out with what they call a Fab-u-motion that will probably make my brand new Fabric Mover obsolete! :roll:
ETA...hang in there with your Viking, as far as the sewing machine goes. Have you taken classes to learn the basics about your Designer? I learn something new every time I attend a class at my LQS, and I've had my SE since last July!

cj, I just have to say how much I enjoy your website!I just read a few pages (I love Moda's jelly rolls and charm packs, too) and I feel I know you! Living in an RV sounds great to me, and I admire you for learning to ride...I ride on the back of our bike, but if I was your age, I would have my own, too.
I have yet to discover the joys of embroidering lace with my SE. My LQS just recently got in some new software for lacy tops, and I'm anxious to give it a try. That, and some heirloom stitching. My latest project is an embroidered butterfly quilt, using both Viking and Cactus Punch designs...a total of 19 butterflies.
Thanks for your enthusiastic post!
