GRRRRR what kind of service is that crappy if you ask me. ProductImages/CA9220LP.jpg' alt='Case Edition Knife Limited' title='Case Edition Knife Limited' />I thought of buying a newer Husqvarnia but only when other machine is fixed. I have a Husqvarna Designer SE II that I paid a pretty penny for or I should say my husband did. I have to say that I try not to use the embroidery part of it too much. I have to monitor the machine with stitching embroidery because it sometimes bunches underneath. To embroider lineart it does well with and recently I did the built in monograming which work very well, a few mishaps here and there but not noticeable unless you are really looking. The only problem I had with the sewing part of it was thread bunching but found that the thread was mis threaded above and once I re did it it worked great. Cheetah_Front_16-1-1024x740.jpg' alt='Case Edition Knife Limited' title='Case Edition Knife Limited' />I also noticed that to fix the bunching I needed a new needle which fixed the problem completely such a finicky machine. I read a comment about Singer sewing machines and in my experience Singer is the best. I only buy commercial grade Singer sewing machines I just found one online for 2. I dropped it by mistake and it needs some love now that I dont have time to give it. Singer has the same problems. When you run into a problem, undo everything you just did and redo it again and most of the time the problem will be solved. I hope you all have better luck with your machines also if you use the automatic start and finish button on your Designer SE your embroidery might come out better than if you were to push the pedal yourself. I bought my traded in Designer SE and many of its accessories from my local quilt shop in Sept. HusqvarnaViking machine made in Sweden. Spent 3. 70. 0 and loved it at first. I barely used it and within a couple years the mother board went out and it is expensive to replace. Found out the machine was made in China, I was duped. After asking around to several pros for advice they said this machine is plagued with problems so do not invest anymore. After I got over it and much research, I have now moved on to another brand. So, 3 stars might be too much but I have a lovehate relationship with my DSE. I had a D1 first and loved it, had no problems, but wanted USB so I sold it its still going strong with the new owner of 1. Windows Xp Media Center Edition 2005 Download Toshiba Eco there. Ive had the SE rebuilt at least 3 times, luckily at no cost to me, and I still can not walk away from it while it embroiders. I have to sit and tend it every second or it will catch in the feed dogs and pull the throat plate right off, break a needle or some other evil thing. When it works right I love it but Ive had the belt come off more than once and I have had to take it apart to put the belt back on. I live 2 hours from the nearest Viking repair person so they told me how to fix some things myself The mother board has been replaced, the screen has been replaced, not sure what else they have done but Ive been told that the problems are unusual. After reading these reviews Im pretty sure thats not true. I just bought a Diamond Deluxe, luckily with a one year warranty. Advanced Javascript Tutorial With Examples there. I have had it one year and have used it about 1 hour. I am in the process of sending it back for the 4th time. They have extended my warranty for another year since Ive had so many problems. HV design flaws that happened on all the machines, apparently. So, Im glad I still have the SE to use as my Diamond travels repeatedly across the country. I own 6 Viking machines and have loved Viking for 4.

NOT made in Sweden Viking machines and I will probably go with Baby Lock if I ever feel inclined to drop thousands of dollars on a machine again. My 3. 0 year old machines are the bomb Debra J Hollingsworth. I own two Husqvarna Designer SEs of which one I bought new and the second came when a close friend died and her family gave it to me. Ones made in China and the other in Sweden. The China made machine has nothing but problems beginning with a failing tension module when the machine had a total time of only 1. I have to take it for service Im forced to pay a minimum of another 1. Due to secrete codes that are only available to certified Husq. Im not able to adjust the internal settings but am forced to use Husqvarna Technicians. The gentleman who said you must find a good technician is right. I will say I love sewing on the SE when it works properly because its very easy to use. The problem is its not made well and they dont last very long without breaking nor are they reasonable in price to repair. CA11631.jpg' alt='Case Edition Knife Limited' title='Case Edition Knife Limited' />The warranty is garbage even though it sounds good in the beginning. At the rate Im going I could have bought a commercial machine for 2. I known then what I know now Now Im trapped in this expensive world of sewing and embroidery with inferior machines I cant resell for more than a few cents on the dollar to what I originally paid. The nearest dealer is 3. They have all sorts of high end inventory but technical support they lack I carried the SE in when the tension module failed and my quote to repair began at 1. I demanded it be returned to me in the condition I delivered it in then located a nice lady in Bradenton Florida who owns a Husqvarna dealership who repaired it for 3. Shes continued to work on my machines and Im certainly glad to have her. Problem is they keep breaking. This China made SE has only 4. Ive spent more than 1. Needless to say the so called warranty DID NOT PAY and Husqvarna refused to talk to me. The Sweden made machine is better by far but it too has had its share of problems. Sadly I had invested in several Husqvarna machines before I learned of all the problems. I own in total a Platinum, two SEs, and a Designer Ruby. THe only machine thats withstood use and seems to run as it should is the Platinum. It is a terrific and reliable machine but it doesnt have all the latest features such as auto thread cutter and stitch placement and such. However, its really easy to use. Every time I take it somewhere I have people trying to buy it from me and Ive realized the dealers want you to trade your old machines because it causes you to be trapped in their very expensive cycle of repairs on the new models. STAY AWAY FROM CHINA MADE HUSQVARNA MACHINES One more note I just had to buy another display screen again for the China made SE. I was told that Husqvarna no longer makes them for the SE or the Designer I and theres only 8 left at the factory. Instead of costing 3. Husqvarna is now charging 1. EACH All you SE owners I highly encourage you to keep your eyes out for a parts machine to have on hand. Since Husqvarna is not going to support us with needed replacement parts for the thousands of machines out here, we must do what we can to store extra parts away for the futureIm looking to buy all the electronic parts I can find thatll fit my machines. Needless to say Ill not put any more money in buying Husqvarna, theyre not what they used to be and the new ones are certainly not worth what you pay I too am leaning toward Babylock Brother for my future investments Happy Sewing Make sure you warn your friendsAfter reading all the reviews on the designer se, I which I could have read these before I would never bought this machine. All the complaints are the same as mine. Thread breaks and bunches up and is a mess to get the thread out. Now my feed dogs are down and material will not feed into the machine.
