BeckyB that is really neat! Did you use a pattern for it or make it up yourself?

I would really only be using the EM for a few projects a year, not as a constant need, so if anyone can suggest a nice machine under $500, I'd love to hear about it.

Hi, Does anyone have a viking Desginer Se. I have one purchased it years ago. Just bought another one on ebay. So I dont need to take mine back and forth to Florida from Michigan. How do you register a purchased used machine so that you can update it? If anyone has any info I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

Thanks for your suggestions and help. I took the top off my Brother 2800D
and voila, there was a big thread knot between the tension disks. Running like new.

I am so excited! In a few mins. I'll be leaving to Naples to attend the Floriani Quilting & Embroidery Event! I took the day off just for it and can't wait to be a part of it! I'll let all of you know how it went.

We'll I'll begin by saying that it was worth it!! I learned so much of their software n stabilizers that I had many notes. I bought stabilizers n some thread but came home very satisfied. I must say that there was a quilt police there noting n inspecting the samples that were passed around, done by the instructor n she was rude about it but I payed her no mind. Sophie if u have it on ur bucket list n u can go, do it u won't b disappointed.
