I love the embroidery that this machine does. That is my passion. I think I may have to dig in deeper and do a little research on this machine.

I want the Viking Diamond Maching so so bad. My plan is to one day be able to afford one. Then I will get a small business going, then I will make lot's of money and can buy the 5 acres behind me to be able to open my Animal Rescue Center. Then once open I will have Senior Day, you know they say pet's increase life in all people. The Senior Day will be set and they can come back and see there special pet they have bonded with. Then if able they can also have certain days to come and help feed the animals an clean there area's. I know this will happen I pray everyday to God and I know he knows I have what it takes to do this. Thank You, Patricia Pistilli 419-260-8004 Hello,

The pieces that were created are gorgeous. Aren't the embroidery machines fabulous? I have also enjoyed reading the comments and ideas from all the "bloggers",appreciating their enthusiasm with machine embroidery. This being said I hesitate to mention my dilemma and frustration with my Designer I. It is currently in the factory for repair. I have no clue how long I will be without it this time. The authorized repairman had it for several weeks total and was unable to find and repair the ongoing problem with my machine. I am curious if there is anyone out there that has had a similar problem. The machine simply stops while embroidering and turns off or crashes if you would have it. The embroidery arm then moves to the rest position and hense I lose not only the incomplete design, I lose the piece on which I am working not to mention the time. I fear it will be a terminal decision for my machine. I would be so lost without it. I am retired and I know I will never be able to afford another. Is there anyone that has encountered the same problem and had a positive resolution? Like the rest of you, I get so much pleasure making gifts for others and embellishing my own projects. Earlier I emailed directly to Husqvarna, their only reply was "not to reply" to the confirmation. I heard nothing! Thank you for viewing my comments.

I have hundreds and I'll pass on a method passed on to me by a professional seamstress years ago in Sacramento CA. First buy standard pattern boxes and label each with 1000, 2000, etc. Remove the pattern pieces and instructions from the pattern envelop and put in a 6x9 mailing envelope with the pattern number written large at the top of the envelope. Take the actual pattern envelope and put it in a 3 ring binder plastic sleeve (two back to back). File those in binders under each category (using divider tabs) blouses, baby nursery, pants, nightwear, etc. Voila!! Look thru the binder in the category you want to sew, find the pattern number and go right to the correct box (in which the patterns are arranged in numerical order) and there's the pattern. The boxes are tucked out of site and the binders are on my sewing library shelves (labeled of course). I have hundreds of patterns filed this way and it makes looking for just the right pattern soooo easy. Thanks, Martha for a great blog. I love my Husqvarna embroidery machine and all it can do. I've passed on sets of tea and dish towels to everyone I know plus embroidered the back of jackets, linens, etc. Happy sewing everyone! Jo This is to Amy re: organizing patterns.

I'm sorry I did not know her. She went around to homes in the old days & sewed to help them get ready for weddings, and for the new "season" coming on and so forth. I wish she could even have seen my lowly Viking 400, much less yours. I've only had it about 3 mo. I am trying to start a business with it. It was the best I could afford at this time. I've kinda been the main breadwinner for most of our lives, & not much since an auto accident some years ago. A lot of body parts still don't work so well, and I got the idea when I pulled out my old machine (The one I made my wedding gown on) to make a Lap Robe to use on my wheelchair. That (as a gear broke again,)"Hey, if I had a decent machine, maybe I could make some of these, plus other things and make a few bucks to help out with our SS checks". So here goes I made the cutest "Baby Wrap" today with the help of a wonderful teacher at Joann Fabrics. When the other ladies in the class sewd a bought applique on the hood of theirs, I quickly embroidered one on mine. It looked so cute. I hope they sell like "hotcakes". Well, I'd better close & get busy. When you "retire your Diamond", please pass it in this direction, because I'll never be able to aff-ord one. Just kidding. Enjoy it. You do look really great. I am enjoying MSL. Thank you. Kate My grandmother Kate was a seam-stress. I'm sorry I did not know her.
