Features of the Designer 1... 

• Computerized Sewing/Embroidery Machine
• Color Touch Screen - A simple touch is all it takes on the Designer I Color Touch Screen. Select a stitch, embroidery or technique with the tip of your finger or with the Stylus (included). Your selected stitch appears on the screen in the direction it will sew. When you embroider with the Designer I, you see your design on the screen in full color before you even start.
• Built-in Disk Drive for 3 1/2 disks (machine is upgradable to USB through your Viking dealer)
• Exclusive Sensor Foot Lift - When you begin sewing, the presser foot is lowered automatically for every sewing technique. This means your hands are free to guide the fabric.

With the patented Sewing Advisor, your sewing will be faster than ever and give you perfect results, no matter what fabric you use – from the finest silk to the thickest leather.
• Selective Thread Cutter - One touch instantly cuts the top and bobbin thread, pulls the top thread to the underside of your fabric and lifts the presser foot.

Refused Deliveries:
If a package is refused, the customer will be responsible for all shipping and refusal fees as well as a 10% restocking fee. This excludes refused deliveries due to damage and only applies to those with buyer’s remorse.

International Shipping:
Seller ships via FedEx for International package. Please email the seller with your shipping details to get an accurate shipping quote. (Please note: I do know that FedEx charges higher customs fees than USPS - but due to new USPS policies that effect the shipper, I do not ship via USPS.)

Packing of Machines...

All machines shipped that do not come in their original box with a value of over $250 USD are packed in expanding foam to keep the shipping gremlins at bay. This is an expensive way to pack machines, but is Sssoooo worth it & it keeps them protected from damage!

The New Box:

Weight tested boxes used to insure the box can handle the weight of the machine. Some high value machines are double boxed to insure safe travel.

 The Foam Before Expansion:

Instapak Quick packing foam is used to package the machine. Two - three packages are used on the base of box depending on the weight and needs of the machine. Some low priced machines will not be packaged with foam - the shipping charge alone would be more than the value of the machine.

 The Bubble Wrapped Box:

Bubble wrap is used on the bottom, sides and top of the box to provide a soft cushiony ride for the machine and to prevent damage. The Instapak Quick foam (as needed) is then placed between the machine and the bubble wrap. Bubble wrap is also used to secure and protect other accessories that my be included with the machine.

The machine and foam, after expansion:

The machine is completely surrounded with the foam and bubble wrap to insure a safe trip! 

The Securely Packaged Box:

More bubble wrap and/or Instapak Quick foam is then used to protect the top of the machine. Sometimes, Instapak Quick foam is also used on the top of the box, but again is used as needed to insure the machine is packaged properly!

The Packed Box:

~Machine in packing photos is for sample only. The actual machine you are bidding on is listed in the above auction~

Lastly, the machine is taped closed and fragile stickers are placed on the box.

No warranty given or implied.
