She doesn't have the Designer 1 she has the Viking #1; it was made years ago and considered one of the best machines Viking ever produced. The #1 can't use the new foot. Most people who end up buying a later model keep their #1 because they are so good. I love the documentation that came with mine. I have large binders full of tutorials on how to do things and with my new Viking Ruby I have a small manual about the size of a magazine. It just goes to show how times have changed things; not always for the best.
