Husqvarna Viking Designer SE Update

This update is available to all registered Husqvarna Viking Designer SE owners. You need the Designer SE 3D Embroidery Software CD, (3D Quickfont, 3D Organizer, Computer Connection) which came with your Husqvarna Viking Designer SE installed on a personal computer, running Windows XP. You need to have your Designer SE registered.

If you have not yet installed Designer SE 3D Embroidery Software or registered your Designer SE, insert your 3D Embroidery Software CD, (3D Quickfont, 3D Organizer, Computer Connection) and follow the instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Designer SE Sensor Q-foot

Due to a change in the embroidery setting when using the Sensor Q foot and selecting Sensor Q foot in the SET menu for embroidery, please use the R foot for embroidery until further notice. If your embroidery project must be stitched with the Sensor Q foot due to thickness, etc. follow these instructions:

1. Put on the Sensor Q-foot but don't activate Sensor Q Foot in the SET menu.
2. In the SET menu, change the pressure to raise the floating height of the Sensor Q foot  3-4 steps. This will set the sensor system to the height needed by the Sensor Q-foot to float over the embroidery.

Version 9875--new features and stitches:

• Support for 150x150 Do All Quilter's Hoop added

•  Herring bone stitch as requested by quilter's for joining batting pieces with edges butted together (Stitch D47)

• Quick Help with right click on a connected mouse

• Automatic stop for thread cut when FIX basting and embroidery

• When "Selective Thread Cutter auto" is unchecked in SET menu, it now cancels all automatic thread cuts in Embroidery mode during color changes and at the end of an embroidery design. This has been requested to facilitate bobbin work and eliminate thread cuts.
