I've been away from the group for a while while spending much time on eBay watching the auctions for Viking #1+ machines. And would you believe, our local dealer got one in as a trade in. He listed it for about the same price as they have been going for on eBay, but with the advantage of a 1 year guarantee and some lessons. Then DH got it for me for Mother's Day. Haven't stopped doing the happy dance since. Love, love, love it!!
I hope there are some Viking #1+ owners in the group that can give me some advice. The dealer showed me the buttonhole function and told me that the measurement setting goes according to the Line number on the back of the button cards. I can't remember ever seeing such a number, so yesterday I went out looking while I was buying some scrap fabric for practising. Sure enough, I can't find any line numbers on button cards, only millimeter lengths. So I ask you Viking experts, is that the number to go by - how many millimeters the button measures?
Thanks for any advice. Gotta fly now! Errrr, make that ' gotta sew'. Sharon tappety tap tap tap
