Sapphire Sewing Machine

Thanks, Cindy..


SNIPPED: Mary, I am _thinking_ they are about $1,500, but I am not for
certain. And
there will most certainly be specials at some point.

Hey! I was at a quilting retreat today and we were talking about the
Sapphire. I have a Husqvarna SE, but it weighs so much I hate taking it
to
class and workshops. I lifted the Sapphire at a quilt shop awhile back
and
it _is_ lighter.

Another woman and I are going to a shop on Monday to test drive one. If I
really like it, I may come home with one. It really needs to have a good
buttonhole appliqué stitch. I know it has 2 lights which I love, and it
has
the needle down feature that I love as well. The pressure foot comes up
when the needle goes down when you stop so you don't even need the walking
foot. Plus all the feet I have bought for the SE will fit it.

I tried the fabric mover at a quilt show and it was not for me. The woman
who was demonstrating it couldn't even get it to work.

So I'll report back Tuesday.

I am thinking of purchasing the new Husqvarna Viking Sapphire sewing
machine with fabric mover and stitch regulator. If you have one -
would appreciate your comments. Thanks - Nan- Hide quoted text -

I have researched the price. JoAnn fabrics have them listed for
$1500. I have checked other local dealers (not JoAnns) and they are
selling the Sapphire 850 for $1100.
My DH bought me the Sapphire 850, with several feet, extra needles
etc. for $1300. I picked out what I wanted and he paid for
them. :-)

Oh, I wish they had come out with this machine before I got the SE. It's a
lovely machine.
