Viking Designer SE Sewing/Embroidery Machine w/Software

The Husqvarna/Viking SE is the cream of the crop when talking about Husqvarna/Viking sewing and embroidery machines. The Designer SE is a model that many seamstresses take years to work up to. Gradually purchasing and trading-in less costly sewing and embroidery machines as they finally arrive at this, the current pinnacle of performance.

This model is intended for seamstresses and embroiderers who demand the ultimate in design flexibility and convenience that this PC compatible machine offers.

Although the computerized sewing functions of this model are outstanding, what really sets the SE apart is the ease and convenience of working with the embroidery function. More than 175 embroidery designs come with this machine, along with four built-in lettering styles.

Two versatile embroidery hoops come with this model. They include a standard hoop (4x4 inch), a large hoop (9-1/2x6 inch).  Especially impressive is the Designer SE's onscreen embroidery editing feature; with this feature you can scale, mirror, and rotate designs all with one touch. Thread colors and background colors alike can also be changed with a simple touch.

Every change you make appears instantly on the full VGA screen equipped with over 65,500 brilliant colors. The Designer SE finally makes it possible to see exactly what will be duplicated on your fabric. And talk about seeing; whether sewing or embroidering, the lighting on this model is like nothing we've ever seen before. Regardless of fabric color or design, the lighting can be adjusted from cool to warm for optimum visibility.

Just like the embroidery functions, the sewing functions of this model are among the most versatile and sophisticated available. With just a touch of the finger, 16 stitch menus and more than 700 stitches appear in the actual size and direction they will sew. Instant help is always available on this model thanks to the Sewing Advisor and the Embroidery Advisor. These features make recommendations for needles, fabrics, accessories, and techniques. Many functions are also programmed automatically to optimal settings when you select fabric type and weight.

More designs can be obtained at a dealer, on eBay or purchased and downloaded instantly online. Husqvarna/Viking also offers a 3D Professional software package, which allows you to go beyond existing designs. With this you can create your own digital images to embroider, using favorite pictures and interesting photos. Cross stitch designs for your machine and even digitizing of complex shapes and fonts is made possible with this additional accessory package.

And better yet, when changes are made to the Designer SE machine, you can upgrade it quickly and easily right online at the Husqvarna/Viking website. 

Just some of the features of the SE include...

• Interactive Designer Screen: This screen is the largest of any sewing and embroidery machine, with a 3D view, it's the first thing to draw your attention to this fantastic machine!  In addition to it's impressive size, the graphic display is also the easiest ever to use. This is a result of a close collaboration between engineers at Viking and skilled sewers, like you who together created an interactive full color touch screen that is truly user friendly. Simply use your stylus to activate any function, any stitch, any information, with a touch.
• The Designer SE has 16 stitch menus featuring more than 700 stitches. With a touch, a stitch appears on the screen in actual size and in the direction it will sew together with the recommended presser foot, needle, stabolizer and more. Touch the embroidery unit on to view and customize designs on the Interactive Designer Screen in 3D, with 3D Fabric.  There are more than 170 beautiful embroidery designs included with this SE!

• E! Light: The color and texture of fabrics appear differently in various lights. The challenge at Viking has been to invent a system exclusively for the Designer SE that gives you perfect, natural light for every sewing situation. A light truly does any fabric justice!  The unique solution of this lighting consists of rows of long-lasting light emitting diodes in white and red. You can easily adjust the warmth and the intensity of the light using two slider bars, and the light changes instantly for the optimun sewing experiance. This light illuminates the entire sewing area and minimizes shadows.
• Exclusive Sensor System: This system is like having a helping hand. The Sensor System automatically lowers and raises the presser foot and adjusts the presser foot pressure for any fabric thickness, ensuring perfect feeding. There is even an extra lift position, where the Sensor system lowers the feed teeth for maximum space to slide thick sewing projects (like quilts) under the foot easily. Stop sewing with your needle down and the Sensor System automatically raises your presser foot to a pivot position, a perfect floating position for the thickness of your fabric. Both hands are free to guide your fabric.
• Exclusive Sewing Advisor: This asvisor is an integral part of this Designer SE. The Sewing Advisor is a real dream come true for all sewers! Simply enter your fabric type and weight and sewing technique and get perfect stitches automatically without tedious test sewing. The Sewing Advisor sets the best stitch, stitch width and length, thread tension, sewing speed and sensor foot pressure for you. It also recommends the best presser foot, the proper needle, if stabolizer is needed and more. The Sewing Advisor is always active, ready to give you the best possible sewing advice.
