“What a colossal pile of tripe”

Written on: 06/05/2013

Absolutely abhorrent. The Designer I USB cannot even correctly update operating versions based on their own instructions. You are a complete fool if you spend your cash on this piece of trash. Level of skill: Computer Expert. Recommendation based on technical merit of device: Avoid at all costs. (read more)

“Best There Is”

Written on: 16/04/2013

I've been sewing garments of all types for my family for over 55 years! During that time I have bought the "top of the line" sewing machines as follows: 1. White, 2. Kenmore, 3. Pfaff, 4. Pfaff, 5. Bernina, 6. Viking Sapphire 830 which I traded up for the 7. Viking Designer SE which I still have and adore, and last but not least I recently added a 8. Viking Sapphire 875 to use for everything but embroidery. Yes, my Sapphire 875 was made in China, and all I can say is: "Thank you,... (read more)

“STAY AWAY FROM HUSQVARNA”

Written on: 23/11/2012 by emi3491 (1 review written)

I spent about 20,000.$ in the last few years with Husqvarna products, a # 1 that was a real lemon, designer 1 that was almost as worst, it cost me at least 1000.$ in repair and cleaning and calibrating ( their excuses for the machine not working properly) and got ruined last year by a dealer trying to upgrade it to a usb port instead of the floppy, now a Ruby, all of them equipped with the embroidery machine and the software of course, and numerous accessories and hoops. If you wonder why... (read more)

“Cannot Sew”

Written on: 07/10/2012 by CharlieRussell (1 review written)

While I admit I am no seamstress, I have had two very excellent people come to my home to help me with different projects. My Viking is the Group 6 Platinum, Interlude, Rose Model and none of us has been able to make the machine sew properly. Each time it is used, it is a real problem. Wish I had one that would simply sew in a straight line, maybe zigzag, etc. like my old Pfaff did. The only thing I like is that, on first glance, folks are impressed. (read more)

“they don't support their software”

Written on: 15/09/2012 by vikingowner

I paid $4000.00 for my embroidery machine and the software that is required to get designs to the machine. Now that windows 7 is out Husqvarna won't support the software that I already bought for around 1300.00. I have to buy new software if I want that option. They said they only write software for the operations systems that are out at that time.. Well you know how fast operating system change!!! Buy your software today and tomorrow it may be obsolete and their answer is give us more... (read more)

“$1500.00 paperweight”

Written on: 17/03/2012

I thought my first machine was a lemon. Apparently all these machines are. Since the first one was a used, one year old machine, I thought that was the reason it sucked. I thought this new one was safe, and would be a good machine. I bought this new one against my husbands approval. I thought he was being unreasonable. I have had it over a year and have not had much of a chance to use it and the first time i get a project that uses slightly heavier material it seizes up. As per usual... (read more)

Written on: 14/12/2010

I have just had my Husquvarna sewing machine seviced after nearly 40 years of use, it has been very reliable and was told it would be good for another 30 years at least. Not sure if a new one would be as good, will be leaving it to my daughter in my will! Thanks. (read more)

I have had my Husqvarna Computer 500 machine for many, many years and have used it constantly! The computer is just worn out now and is quite expensive to replace, so I have decided to purchase a used Viking Rose machine and have not heard anything bad about it. Hopefully, it will last 30 years more as well!

“This Husqvarna Viking sewing machine does smoothly...”

Written on: 09/02/2009 by Olivier67 (1 review written)

This Husqvarna Viking sewing machine does smoothly everything it said it would do. I think it's a step below the Bernina (My mom has a Bernina), but, because it never broke down, missed a stitch or failed a function, I would say it is definitely the next best thing, for a much more affordable price.
I have sewn curtains with 6 thick layers on top of each other, I have sewn leather (5 different layers), I have done decorative stitching, speciality stitching, weird stitching, and this machine... (read more)

“I have always wanted a Husquarna as I considered this...”

Written on: 07/01/2009 by sibyllabob

I have always wanted a Husquarna as I considered this sewing machine to be one of the top. I was excited when I got the machine home and could'nt wait to get started. I read the manuals from cover to cover and began just trying out different stitches. My main issues are with the lack of space underneath the needle arm, it is really difficult to thread up, it feels clumbsy and I don't have big hands, perhaps they have extra small hands in Sweden. I'm not overerly impressed with the stitching,... (read more)
