Husqvarna Long Arm Quilting Machine

by Carol

Question

I wondered if anyone is finding that the longarm machine is difficult to operate? I have heard good and bad and wondered what a current user experiences on a daily basis before I purchase the machine.

Thanks, so much for your thoughts.

Hi Carol!

I wish I could personally help with your question, but I quilt solely on my Viking Designer I sewing machine.

Readers, do you have and use the Viking long arm, the Mega Quilter? If you do, please tell us about your experience with this machine...both the good and the bad. Use the 'Comments' link just below to share your thoughts.

Thank you!

Piecefully,

Viking long arm Mega Quilter 18X8
by: Andrea

I own the Mega Quilter and I love it.

It is a smooth running machine and so far I have had very little problems with it. I do wish that there was more support for us.....like a master class for me to go to. The class that I did take was one time for just a few minutes. My sewing machines (of which I have seven) are all either Vikings or Brothers and I have had very good luck with them....but...

...I do envy how Bernina owners have their Master Classes as does Gammill.

It would be wonderful if somehow we could attend classes so we could feel comfortable with them. I hope the parent office of Husqvarna read these comments.

It would be nice if they would consider something like this.

I own a Viking 18 x 8 and a Designer Diamond. Thoroughly enjoy both machines.

I find the longarm is a good machine to sew with, but wish there was a better way to wind bobbins. I have found it is difficult to put a new needle in and have it in the right position. Right now I am having some problem with skipped stitches.

On the whole, the longarm is easy to use- both to load and sew with. Am wondering if the pre-wound bobbins may be part of the problem. Any suggestions from anyone?

I have an Innova 18" with lightening stitch and it is great. Use a special ruler called the 'appliguide' and you don't hook your applique material.

It takes practice but Fun! Fun! Fun!
