Husgavarna Sewing Machines
#21
i have a designer SE LE...LOVE it...it was one of the last one's made in Sweden. If you decided to buy one though i would highly suggest you go to an LQS dealer. You will get a much better deal ( the guys in Joanns can't wheel and deal) and much better customer service. I paid 3600 for my floor model that had only 21 hours on it (that's nothing for these machines) I got all the gooddies, plus...one on one training until i learned how to use the machine, she threw in 3 extra feet, bobbins, needles, ect. plus has "fixed" the BTM&C errors ( between the machine and chair). I love my machine. I wont be getting rid of it until it sews its last stitch.

I had a lovely Husqvarna Prelude 350 with the acrylic table and walking foot in a great carrying case to use for classes. It's a great machine and has a better stitch and tension than my Janome 6500. It's also the machine that DD has "borrowed" to stitch dog stuff. She loves it and no longer wants a new machine. Now I'm taking my Featherweight to classes!

I believe that Husqavarna Sewing Machines are the best! I've had my Viking for two years now; I also have a Brother LX-3125 for my basic sewing, I wouldn't give anything for my Husqavarna. It withstands all problems Ive ever had and my LQS can usually fix any problems I may have. (which is rare).

I have 3 Vikings and I love the way they sew. The only downside to Viking was stated earlier in this topic---parts.
It takes a long time for the dealer to get the needed parts. Both myself and my friend were involved in about a 9 month wait. I had another machine to sew on, she went into the shop and used one there.

They are really beautiful machines but I did not know how the quality was. We have the lawn mowers, chain saws and weedeaters and they are great. How are the machines?

I have an Emerald 203 because all I do is sew - no embroidery - and a Huskylock serger. I would not trade either of them for anything!!! Every single time I've I've had a problem with one of them it has turned out to be "user error". Hmmmm........

I have a Designer I for the past 7 years. The machine sews beautifully, however, I have had nothing but problems with the touch screen. It has been replaced 3 times and now it is acting up again, when I touch something nothing happens, total frustration.
