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 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.

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!

That was a good tip mounting on an upside down container for hooping - many thanks x

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&notafraid

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 KZfaq but I've contacted Dave to see if he can fix the code.

How do you attach that clear foot to the ankle? I broke the black piece off of the ankle

@BallyhooCreations 6 ай бұрын

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.

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.

@BallyhooCreations Жыл бұрын

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. 😁

Can this be used on a Longarm sewing machine for doing pantographs?

@BallyhooCreations Жыл бұрын

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!

What model do you use?

@BallyhooCreations Жыл бұрын

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.
