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).

I have the SE and use it to do embroidered blocks...love it

Bought the Topaz 20 and now am intimated to take it out of the darn box! :oops:
|
I have the Brother SE400 - got it at Walmart. I bought it especially for quilting and love it! There are tons of single run quilt outline stitches available on the Embroidery sites online.

Gladgrams...
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: |
