Cover I made for my new Viking Sapphire 830
Anyway, I've had my Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 830 for a month and really love this sewing machine. I've completed a quilt with free motion quilting, appliqued, made fabric labels combining my name and stitch designs using the programmable feature.
My first project was a quilted, appliqued cover for my new machine. I've included a photo. I really advise everyone to take the offered classes. In my case, it solved the problem I was having with free motion quilting and getting the applique stitches to look right.
My Viking Sapphire 830 sews so smoothly. At least once I got used to paying attention to the instruction screen advising me what size needle to use, tension, etc. The only issue I have is the thread occasionally comes off the upper guide. And, the little case that holds the bobbins and extra feet is a bit inconvenient to get at.
Would I recommend it? Yes but I think part of my satisfaction is the dealer I bought it from who is so helpful.
