I have been using my moms Brother NX400 but it will only straight stitch. I really needed a blanket stitch. So tonight when I was at her house she sent me home w/ her Viking Designer I. I really wont use the embrodiery but this machine is suppose to be great. I cant wait to start sewing.

WOW, aren't you lucky! Enjoy it, I have a sapphire & a lily....maybe someday I'll upgrade to the designer.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

Very nice. Enjoy your machine and make lots of great stuff with her.

congrats

Congrats! What a great machine! YAY Mom!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Lucky you....you will get so spoiled by that Designer 1....
I especially love the way that the pressure foot releases just a little so that you can reposition ...

I have that machine. It's great. You need to try doing some embroidery on it. You will be hooked. PM me if you need any help. Do you have any emb. programs to try? I have some that I can send you. I have digitized myself, that I hold copyright to so that won't be a problem.

aww lucky you....how nice....getting my Sapphire in October...cam`t wait

THANKS MOM!!

I have a Designer I and love it. Don't rule out using the embroidery unit. It's fun and does a nice job. Be sure to check out the diff stitches you can do.

you will love it.

Great Mommy! go ahead try the embroidery, I bet you'll like it.

Lucky you

Happy sewing

Lucky you!

I miss my mom. I love your new machine. Enjoy!

This is a great machine. I have it, but I am trying to sell it. You really should try the embroidery part of it. It is a wonderful machine. Anybody interested in my machine please pm me.

I love my Vikings...a Platinum 775 and a Scandinavia 400! You will love sewing on your Viking!

Nice ... enjoy her

A terrific gift, treasure it. I have this machine and it is a work horse. I also have the Diamond & the Pfaff CV, but I keep coming back to the DesignerI.

Lucky you!

How lovely, what a great Mum you have -- Enjoy your new machine !

What a wonderful gift. Enjoy!!!

I also have this machine,although I piece now mainly with my Janome just because of the bigger harp. I do all my labels on it though with the embroidery attachment...you will get hooked. It is a lovely machine.

I have TWO Designer Ones so, trust me, you ARE lucky!!!

I loved my Designer
Learn the embroidery if you have the unit
Lots of help online and I take lessons at the dealer

very nice !! Mom's are just great : )

I just bought a used Viking quilt designer a couple of weeks ago and I LOVE IT!!! Lucky you and hooray for mama just giving it to you!!!!!

Use the embroidery. After a learning curve, I think you will be hooked.

You have a great mom!!! Why is she getting rid of it? Does she not sew anymore??? Embrodery can be so much fun - dont rule it out!! Cheryl :thumbup:

What a wonderful Mom.

your mom is one special lady. :thumbup: :thumbup:
