DO NOT PURCHASE A SEWING MACHINE FROM A BIG BOX STORE. Also… You may be able to find a good deal on a refurbished machine at a shop where good used sewing machines are being sold on consignment or where machines have been repaired and then not claimed by their owners. Sometimes you will be able to get a good machine from an authorized independent dealer that has been used as a trade in on one of those ‘used car’priced sewing machines. I know what you mean about sticker shock, and agree with you wholeheartedly.
If, indeed, there is no place within reasonable distance where you can get your machines repaired, you do have options. If you want me to help you locate one, please send me your city/town and state via the ‘contact me’ link on this site. If you cannot locate one, it may be worth a trip to another town or city to get the job done. Find an authorized sewing machine repair dealer in your area. Replyįirst of all… There is SOMEBODY out there who can repair your Bernina and Featherweight. We got it at a good price due to a promotion, and I haven’t looked back or had any regrets. She finished her first quilt today and absolutely can not wait to start sewing on it again for her next project. She actually sews better on the Sapphire 930 than past machines. I bought it for my 5th grader who has been sewing on a little Janome for the past three years. (The current Opals could not use some of my feet.). I chose the Sapphire as I could use feet that I already purchased.
#VIKING 950 SEWING MACHINE HOW TO#
This is another reason I like Viking with easy storage and a plethora of additional accessories that give good detail on how to use through their catalog. I’m not fond of Berninas and their big feet. It is very easy to use, and I have worked on machines ranging from Janome to Brother. The only difference between the two, for me, was that 960 came with omni-motion ( which I rarely use on my other machine), extra feet (I already have), and touchscreen (I still like my flip-chart). I felt it was a good value for the price compared to the 960q. It sews excellent through a variety of materials. If you are in the market for a new computerized sewing machine and if you don’t mind taking a couple of extra steps to perform simple functions, by all means, consider the Husqvarna/Viking Sapphire 930 before making a final decision. The quality of the stitches would make anybody happy, regardless of how long they’ve been sewing. I hesitate to recommend it for use by a child in elementary or middle school because there is simply too much to remember before actually sewing.Īnyone who is adept at the basics of sewing machine operation would be able to make the adjustment much easier. There are other machines on the market that offer much easier stitch selection options.įor this reason, I think the Husqvarna/Viking Sapphire 930 might be a good choice for a computer savvy beginner who is at least 16-18 years of age. The stitch quality is its major selling point.Ĭompared to other computerized Husqvarna/Vikings, the stitch selection process is more user friendly, but in my opinion, it could still be simpler.įor some reason, it seems as though the folks at Husqvarna/Viking make things just a little more complicated than they should be. The Husqvarna/Viking Sapphire 930 is a very good computerized sewing machine. The on board stitch selection guide is clustered in four separate groups. I like the fact that the stitch selection process is not as complicated as it is on some other Husqvarna/Viking computerized sewing machines.
Threading the Husqvarna/Viking Sapphire 930 and winding the bobbin are very easy – easy enough for a beginner. Working on the Husqvarna/Viking Sapphire 930 7 perfect balance buttonholes + 2 eyelets.Other function buttons include the start/stop button stop function fix tie off speed control presser foot up/down needle up/down and reverse stitch. The Sapphire 930 also has a numerical keypad for stitch selection… a great advantage for someone who is still learning to sew. I was pleased to discover that the drop feed on the Sapphire 930 is right there where you can get to it without going through a lot of unnecessary steps.
