- Vivilux was kind enough to give me one of their lasers to try out and review. Let me show you a few uses I found for it, plus a great TIP for attaching it. This is a great tool for positioning garments in the hoop.

I purchased this laser at a show, and haven’t regretted it! I have been a garment sewer since the age of 10 (I am in my 60’s.for the life of me I could never sew a straight line. My mom taught me to sew, and if the seam wasn’t straight, or too big, I would go grab that garment to wear, and the seam was gone. Started quilting 20 years ago, and embroidery. This laser is great, I love it!
I am really impressed and I am not easy to impress.... You really know your stuff, some of what you have talked about I learned the hard way by trial and error.
The school of hard knocks is an excellent teacher. (ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ) Glad you're enjoying the videos!
I are an engineer… you’re cute and funny!
That was a good tip mounting on an upside down container for hooping - many thanks x
Glad it was helpful!
Great review. Btw, excellent notice regarding cats and lasers.
You did up your engineering game. That laser is fricking cool. The putty to is great too!
Thanks Pan!
ViviLux is cool. I checked their page and found knock off info. Thanks!
You should consider setting up an Amazon store with your favorite items. Thanks for the video.
Good idea Lissa, thanks!
Great review thanks Luci. I bought a Vivilux last year & encountered the same problems with the velcro. I’m going to try your suggestion! Also I hadn’t thought of using it for free motion embroidery - which I do a lot of. I’ll be trying that too & with my recently bought Coverstitch. #manymachines¬afraid
Ooh! Have fun with the coverstitch! My Janome is finicky. I wish I had the money for the babylock but I just battle with the Janome and test, test, test until the stitches are balanced on the fabric.
Thank you Mary for letting me know the coupon code didn't work for you. Your comment went missing from TH-cam but I've contacted Dave to see if he can fix the code.
Can this be used on a Longarm sewing machine for doing pantographs?
I don't see why not. As long as the longarm has a place you can attach the battery box and bend the gooseneck light, it should work. Sounds like a good use for this!
Perhaps silly question - but doesn’t staring at the laser beam for a prolongued time hurt ( and possibly even damage) ones eyes ? If not … a groovy item. Thank you for reviewing it.
Lasers can damage your eyes if you point the beam directly at the eyes, but in this case we're looking at a reflection of the laser and it's not pointed at anybody's eyeballs so it's safe. That all being said, staring at anything too long will give you eyestrain and we should all remember to take a breaks when we're sewing. 😁
How do you attach that clear foot to the ankle? I broke the black piece off of the ankle
The machine in the video has snap-on presser feet for a low shank. But if something has broken on your machine you may need to take it in for service.
@@BallyhooCreations I had to buy a new ankle for my Viking Epic machine. Also bought a spare ankle for my Viking 980Q also @ 29.95 a piece. Keep up your informative videos 👍
@@robinhessefort6649 Glad you got it working again!
What model do you use?
This video demonstrates the vivilux green laser on a Husquavarna Viking Designer 1 machine. I don't know about model numbers for the laser. Just make sure you get the laser, since they also have LED lights that are for task lighting.
