Embroidery Machine
#1
I am tempted to purchase a used Husqvarna Topaz 20 to use for quilting designs into blocks and around borders.
Does anyone else use their embroidery machines in this way? I would like to hold onto my Sapphire 870 (Viking) to use for piecing.
Thoughts anyone?

I have a Viking, Designer 1 and a Viking Husky lock serger and LOVE both of them. I can use my embroidery part, while I piece on my ancient White machine. I would not get rid of them! My hubby walks by my sewing room and just shakes his head.
I haven't tried to embroider/quilt blocks yet, but I know lots of people do it!

I have the Designer 1 and a Freesia, love them both. I've used the D1 to quilt--it works great. Then I got a Mega Quilter with a 9" throat to use on a HQ frame. Now I want to get a larger throat (18" or larger).

The topaz is one of Viking's better ideas. Does a lot of the larger stuff for a smaller price. GET IT OUT AND USE IT!
Just keep the user manual handy. Otherwise programing it is a breeze.
Ask your dealer for help/classes.

There must be some classes you can take on it, maybe at the LQS. You'll probably have to pay for them, but what a world of difference it will make if you have someone show you how to use your new/used machine.
Take it out of the box!! :lol:
