husqvarna viking designer 1 replacement lcd touch screen free sample

I purchased it from eBay for less than $10. If you purchase the OEM it will cost you $200-300. I think it is for a SHARP printer. Just search "132mm X 105...

For HUSQVARNA VIKING® machines connected via USB cable, the Embroidery Machine Communication module is automatically installed. Use the Send Express function to send the design to the machine via USB cable.

After installation, open the 5D™ Configure Wizard. Select your machine model under MyMachines and set the appropriate Send1 and Send2 settings. It is recommended to set the Embroidery Machine Communication module to start automatically when starting Windows.

For HUSQVARNA VIKING® machines connected via USB cable, run the PREMIER+™ 2 Machine utility, then use the Send Express function to send the design to the machine via USB cable.

I had read and heard a lot about different models of the Husqvarna/Viking Ruby, but it wasn’t until visiting the Factory Sew-Vac that I actually had an opportunity to review one.

The model they had on display was the Designer Ruby, a combination sewing and embroidery machine with nearly 1000 total utility, decorative, quilt and alphanumeric stitch options.

Conveniently situated function touch pads above the needle include start/stop; presser foot up/down; needle position; design stop; fix; and speed control.

After determining the type of fabric you will be working with, the next step is to select your stitch. There are 18 different stitch menus to choose from.

Use the menu button on the touch screen to identify the menu your stitch is located in. This could be a challenge since there is no on-board stitch selection guide. There is, however, a separate user’s guide which shows each stitch and the menu where it is located.

The good news is once you determine which stitch you want and make your selection, the touch screen immediately shows you what the stitch will look like, which presser foot to use, and the default length and width settings which can be adjusted to suit your specific needs by using the plus and minus signs closest to the length or width icons.

I sampled several utility and decorative stitch options and was pleased with the results as well as the way the Designer Ruby handled. There is no vibration and very little noise.

The Husqvarna/Viking Designer Ruby is one of those sewing and embroidery machines that you can’t help but like. It isn’t nearly as costly as the Designer Diamond Deluxe or other sewing and embroidery machines made by Husqvarna/Viking.

It doesn’t have many of the features that some of them may have, and offer fewer stitch options, but with a total of almost 1000 stitches to choose from, who’s counting? Could you really use all of those stitches anyway?

I do, however, believe this is an excellent choice for anyone who likes machine embroidery and is in the market for a machine that perhaps costs a little less than the top of the line Designer Diamond Deluxe.

Bear in mind, though, that this machine is definitely not to be used by children younger than 12 or 14 years of age, and I repeat it isn’t for the beginner of any age.

If you are seriously considering purchasing a new sewing and embroidery machine, I urge you to visit your local Husqvarna/Viking dealer and ask for a demonstration of the Designer Ruby before making a final decision as to which machine to introduce to your sewing room.
