Hi everyone. I'm new here and I live in Massachusetts. I have a Viking Rose and the other day it kept telling me that my presser foot wasn't down when it was. I took it to be checked out and was told that the sensor was gone. Instead of ordering a new sensor they bypassed it and it seems to have done the trick. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hello and welcome from the Arkansas Ozarks.
Happy quilting.

Welcome from Michigan.:)

I had that problem when I 1st got my Viking Rose in 96 or 97. It became a known defect after being in for repair 3 times in several months. My machine was replaced in 97 after they resolved the issue.

Hmm. I wonder if I could get mine replaced.

Are you the original owner? I'm surprised you did not have the problem sooner. I was doing a lot of quilting back then as I retired when I got my machine in 1996. Mine was still under warranty & I made a lot of phone calls & letters to - I think it was Sue Hausman - who was in charge back then. I was also working - teaching quilting - for a Viking dealer.

I bought mine in 1999 and have never had a problem until now. The dealer I bought it from no longer exists. It runs fine now but I just hoping it continues to.

Welcome from Florida!!
I'm glad that you seem to have your sewing machine problem fixed!

Unless it was a leftover or something, the machines manufactured in 1999 should not have had the problem. I had to wait for them to create a fix before I could get my replaced & that was in 1997. You might call Viking & see if they can tell you when your machine was manufactured.

I bought an "open stock" SE in 07...Well, the last few mths she started sewing backwds...UGH...all kinds of porblems with circuit bd...She's being shipped to Viking in TN for repair Est $700+....double UGH....

Have not had any problems with it.

I've never had any problems until now but now that it's fixed it's running beautifully again.

I and welcome from Lowell, MA. I don't have a Viking, but I've got a Janome 4000, a Kenmore and older Brother, that's down from 6 before we moved, but I made my niece, my dear sweet DIL and my sister's GD very happy. Hope they have permanently fixed your problem. Happy quilting.

I have not had that problem with my Rose, but I bought mine used. It might have been adjusted because mine is right that my foot is not down when it goes off.
Love the machine!

HI and welcome from Washington State.
I have owned 7 Vikings and never had any problems.
2 of the machines at least 20 yrs old haven't ever been taken in for anything
I always take the bobbib case apart and clean it...
I was sewing mostly on the Designer #1
Glad you have it working again.
