Re: [h-cost] Viking embroidery machines software

I just checked the DesignerSE Yahoo group. In the Files section there is a file that explains how to remove the U3 software (not on all devices) from the USB device in order to get it to work in Viking machines. There is also a listing of the USB devices that are compatible. Since the

Re: [h-cost] Brassiere supplies

[h-cost] Husqvarna Viking Embroidery Machines

I have a Designer SE, and I love it! You may want to wait until next month to buy. The latest top of the line Viking is to come out then. There is much speculation as to what features it will have, but the general idea is that it will have the same large field as the Pfaff. Based on
