Item specifics

Type:	Sewing/Embroidery Combo	Brand:	Viking/Husqvarna
Model:	Designer 1	Condition:	Used

UPDATE:

I took the machine to an authorized Viking dealer in a near by town. I had the machine checked for sewing time, it has 13 hours, 2minutes of sewing time and 6 hours of embroidery time. I am the original owner and think I bought it in 2004.

Viking Designer 1 Series Embroidery Machine with very little embroidery time. I mainly used it for basic sewing. The listing includes the coveted sensor Q embroidery foot.

EXTRAS ...
Comprehensive instruction manual $29.99 original price
Q sensor embroidery foot
Mega embroidery hoop with upgrade disk
Hard cover dust cover

Exclusive Sensor Foot Lift
When the machine starts, the presser foot is lowered automatically. This allows for hands free to guide your fabric.

Exclusive Sensor Foot Pivot
When the machine stops, the presser foot automatically raises so the fabric can be manipulated in any direction.

Exclusive Sensor Foot Pressure
The presser foot automatically senses fabric thickness and moves easily over seams and multiple layers.

It has the Floppy Disk Drive, not USB port. This makes the machine faster, it reads floppies faster than downloading from the USB stick.

The unique Husqvarna Viking Sewing Advisor is an invaluable help no matter what you’re sewing. It’s simple: just select your fabric type and weight and sewing technique. The Sewing Advisor instantly sets the ideal stitch, stitch width and length, thread tension, sewing speed, sensor foot pressure and recommends the presser foot and needle.

Comes with all presser feet that come with a new machine:

A for Utility Sewing, B for Decorative Stitching, Clear B, C for Manual Buttonholes, The Buttonhole Sensor Foot, D for Blind Hems, E for Zippers, H for sewing leather and vinyl, J for Overcasting Edges, P for perfect 1/4" Piecing, R for Embroidery, & S for Side-Motion Stitches. My listing also includes the Q sensor embroidery foot.

Comes with Four Embroidery Design Disks: Designer 1 Sampler, Palace Script Font, Clarendon Font, Kalligrapha Font.

All original books included.

Three Hoops Included: 100m x 100m (4"x4"), 150m x 240m (6" x 10"), and Mega Hoop (6" x 14 1/4").
