Hi, I bought mine Oct 1999, have it serviced once a year, never had any problems. Software: I upgraded from System5Pro through VIPpro to 3D Pro. Can anyone tell me whether it is worth updating (again!) to 4D. Cost an arm and a leg each time.

I really like the 4D, and find it much easier to do. Hard to say if it is worth the update cost, but I am very happy to have it.

I've had my D1 for about 3-4 years now and just upgraded to USB. Have been very happy with the D1 - and it gets lots of use, both embroidery and regular sewing - probably on the average of 20 hours a week.

I have a designer 1 its also excellent for quilting as there is more space under the machine.

I have had a D1 now for 4 years have wonderful backup from the dealer and have had great fun sewing and embroidery on the machine it gives and gives. I have just upgraded to a USB and it has never missed a beat in all the hours of use it gets.

I have had my Designer 1 for a year now. It has been the best machine I have owned. I love it! Hopefully I will get many years of sewing out of it?

I have had my Designer 1 for 8 years. I love it! I belong to a machine embroidery club at my local fabric store. All of us who have D1 never have any trouble. Can't say that for the other machines in the class. I keep my machine updated and have 3D. Best present I have ever purchased for myself! janete

I have had this machine for nearly 5 years now. It is my standby machine now I have Designer SE, however I always find it very strange using Floppy disks when I do embroidery on it. However I am not prepared to have the expensive USB port put in at the moment, so for now I have a trip down memory lane when I use it seeing how far the machines have gone in 5 years and wonder where they will be at in another five! However I cannot agree with Janete that it is problem free as I have had a run of problems but so I am blessed with a wonderful dealer-Husqvarna Studio in Nottingham, England!

Hi I'm new to this group. I bought my Embroidery Machine, the Designer 1 USB, I'm still learning, but it's a little confusing when you don't know much computer. I hope you can help me or tell me whre to do on the internet and learn the zip files. By the way, what is our format?

Your format is VIP or VP3 if you have the newest software 4D. HOpe you find your machine great fun. There is a special Yahoo group for people with Designer 1. Certainly worth joining as there are some very knowledgable members

I never ever had a better machine as this one.Had it for more than 6 years. Great to work with and it made beautiful embroidery and lace. I wish I kept it....

I got my designer I USB for my 25th wedding anniversary and I just love this machine. Actually I was given the 955D and then upgraded within 2 months to the designer I and have never looked back. The only problems I've encountered are me and not the machine. We work long and hard together and never a wimper.

I have had my Designer1 for 3 years. Lots of problems with support and repairs. Last November( just as I was trying to finish gifts) my machine just quit. It was in the shop for 4 weeks. So much for a merry xmas. Then since we bought my machine in Colorado and now live in Arkansas they didn't want to honor my warrent. If I ever get to buy another machine it won't be a Husqvarna Viking. But when all is said and done I'm glad so many of you have had good luck with the Designer1.

After reading reviews on the Viking machines, both DI & SE, I think someone needs to send them to Viking about their lousy support system! If I didn't have a good dealer, I doubt I would have bought the new machines.
