Viking Mega Quilter

December 9, 2005

Here’s a photo of my new Viking Mega Quilter next to my Bernina Artista 180. You can see how much bigger the area under the arm is. Great for quilting bigger projects. I won a Viking Quilt Designer II and although it’s a great machine, it duplicates many things on my Bernina that I never use. So I traded it in for the Mega Quilter and Inspira Frame (the frame probably won’t be in until January. Will have to give you a review of that later.

So far I’ve only used the new Mega Quilter on one project, but it only took one hour to quilt a background that I estimated would take about four — it’s really fast. But maybe not so good for really detailed work. We’ll see after I get more practice.

    I am thinking of purchasing the Mega Quilter and frame. Are you happy with your purchase? Do you find it too restrictive? Thanks for your time.

    I have ordered my Viking Mega Quilter and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. I did a lot of research between it and the Janome 1600 and I believe I’m getting more bang for the buck. I look at this machine as an intermediate stop until I can purchase a long arm machine. Currently, I’m quilting my quilts on my old viking 1100 and while it gets the job done, I’m inflicting a task on it that it wasn’t designed for. Good luck on your purchase.
