[@helenjowett7879]

I have learned so much about a machine I have had for a few years. The shop course that I did wasn't as thorough as this and lasted all day! (Luckily free!) Thank you so much. I might enjoy using it more in future. Just need to buy some time and some brains.

[@jennistevenson796]

So grateful for this brilliant tutorial. Thank you John

[@chrisfrain6569]

Brilliant the best person to explain how to work the Husqvarna

[@coffeecupkelly]

How helpful! Thank you! I just bought my Opal. I am so happy. I was curious to see what KZbin videos were out for my model and found you. This was great and new users should watch this. You covered everything clearly. They should include your link with every machine they sell.

[@sonjastaron3801]

Must watch introduction for anybody who just bought the Husquerna Viking Opal 690Q - clear instructions, very easy to remember all settings on the first go! Thank you many times!

[@julasfarm1]

This tutorial taught me so much about my new machine. I have a Tribute 150C and this was the closest I have found to teach me about my machine. Thank you.

[@ninakeester2673]

I purchased this machine today February 11, 2022 to replace my Husqvarna Viking SE that needs a Mother board, which is no longer available. I cannot afford a new embroidery machine; therefore, I decided to go with this model. This model has everything I wanted and more. Have watched this video twice and am now ready to unbox and setup and get to finishing the 5 quilts I have in progress. Fabulous video, THANK YOU!

[@purplesnowdrop]

Thank you for a very comprehensive run through of such a brilliant machine. I got mine for Christmas and I love it, most of the things had been figured out by playing, sewing and just pressing the buttons and seeing what happened. But there was still lots I hadn't figured out yet. Now I need the quilting extension table and I will be very happy

[@patdevine59]

This video is a God send. I thought I had taken on a bit more than I could chew, as my last machine was very very basic. You have made things that looked daunting seem so simple. Can't wait to try all the features out. It is an amazing machine. THANK YOU.

[@wendyrobinson5523]

I was looking to buy a new sewing machine and after watching this video I knew this was the machine for me. It's such fun to sew with (I've been doing quilting and applique) and if I forget how to do something I can just come back to this video. Everything is explained really clearly. Thank you for doing it.

[@kateransom5111]

This is a great tutorial - I just bought the machine yesterday and was a little lost before I found this. Can't wait to get sewing now -Thank you

[@Gottacacheemalll]

Does it do embroidery?

[@kristymeyer9247]

[@ron-barbwalker6055]

[@madeleinepennock1946]

Just bought this machine and your instruction has saved me loads of trial and error moments, thank you! Very informative!

[@looloo4029]

Madeleine Pennock do you have a personal review of the Husqvarna 690Q that you can share with other prospective buyers of this machine?

[@terribruch3289]

THank you soooooooo much I took a class after I purchased the machine but was still sooo confused You are GREAT!!!!!

[@marisaelskamp4497]

I just purchased this machine, I am so happy I made this choice after watching this video.

[@krisshapiro6583]

What an incredible overview. You did an awesome job and made working with a machine like this look easy. This had to take quite a bit of time, so really appreciate your tutorial!!!

[@laureensalvagnini8484]

This is awesome! I have saved for this machine for a year. Couldn’t wait for lessons. Your video is awesome

[@wendyjones7202]

I just bought this machine. Thank you so much for posting this video. It is great!

[@user-nu8ir2ds7x]

Thank you for such a comprehensive overview. I have been unsure of where to start getting to know my new machine being used to very “simple” ones I was beginning to regret buying such a “clever “ one but after watching this video right through to the end I now have the confidence and understanding of all the good things I can do. to start using all the extras. Thank you again.

[@sonma8671]

Just traded up from the 650 to the 690Q and so far could not be happier. Had watched this video before I upgraded and it is extremely helpful. Just watched a small section again to get more understanding now that I have the machine. Very pleased. Thank you to everyone at Village Sewing in Santa Rosa!

[@gingerfavret9961]

I have had my Viking Opal for almost 2 years now and this video is great for a refresh course in helping me make good use of the machine. Thank you...

[@christineaskew8383]

This is a brilliant video, explains everything clearly and informatively. Its been a lifesaver to help me use my new machine. Thanks so much!

[@crissler9182]

Wonderful. I've watched the entire video before I've even opened the box. Can't wait to get my hands on my new machine. Thanks so much fo the introduction.

[@fuzzygang5]

Wonderful precise instructions. Thanks!!

[@kathysnyder5457]

I just bought this machine. Although we had 2 classes, with several students in each one, it was all too fast, trying to cover everything but also specialty items. Thank you so much for this very clear, informative tutorial!

[@joycevanmeteren6188]

Thank you so much for your “workshop” i will buy this one it’s just the machine for me! It is an older model but still has everything i wish for.

[@AngieDenise]

I just traded up to this machine from the Opal 670 & I absolutely love it. I loved the 670 too but this has a few more bell and whistles that I really love. Thanks for this video

[@zeliaavila2646]

This video has so much information I saved for my own since I just got a Viking Opal for myself Thank you

[@VRa-bv6xu]

Thank you so much. I am considering buying this machine. I live very rural and have to drive 100 miles to get it. This video will help tutor me if I have questions; saving me a lot of traveling. Very comprehensive and very much appreciated.

[@MegensBay]

Thank you for this easy to understand video. I was finally able to purchase this model and have added this to my favorites for future reference.

[@Flutterytumble]

Thank you so much for such an awesome tutorial for this machine! I have so far only sown for a few days, but I find it helpful to have a video instead of just the included manual sometimes, like when it comes to winding the thread. I have placed this video in my favorites so I easily can go back and check out some tips and ideas.

[@debbiee.1575]

Just bought my machine, thanks for the video lesson.

[@jennyboulton6560]

A great video - I have just purchased an Opal 690Q and your video is so useful thanks :)

[@lindagear9014]

Thank you, this was beyond helpfuI, I was given a quick run down on the machine when I bought it (at a quilting exhibition so I appreciate they have limited time, but were still super helpful) and I have been loving how user friendly it is but I had no idea just how functional it is. So, thank you again.

[@elainekapalin5623]

Thank you for a great video! I have had 2 Designer1 machines and they both broke within a year of each other. Found a used Opal that didn’t come with anything except a B foot and this video was very helpful in helping me get acquainted with this machine.

[@jennyboulton6560]

Really useful workshop which illustrates how great this sewing machine is :) thanks

[@elsiemontgomery5528]

Thank you John. Great video!

[@johannecaron7513]

[@ginnylitzelfelner7832]

I purchased this machine this past Christmas and have been too intimidated to start sewing on it. This video is breaking it down for me. I am going to tackle my fear and get sewing. Thanks for your help!

[@francesweintraub8314]

Fantastic video! I can't wait to get my machine that I ordered. I will shop with you when I can in the future .

[@elizabethmcallister3315]

Thank you so much for such an informative video!

[@genawalter401]

Thank you so much for the amazing video!

[@cndegg]

Just started working at a Viking Sewing Gallery. And I have to learn all of the machines. Your video has been just ever so helpful to me. I do want to be able to help my customers choose the right machine and use it to it's fullest capabilities.

[@bridgettkernofficial]

This video is awesome! as a new owner, I saved this to my fav videos because I know I will need it! Thanks! Very helpful.

[@connietodd9307]

This is great information. Thanks!!!

[@Tonda193]

Bought this machine today. This tutorial was very helpful. Thank you!

[@Tonda193]

I bought mine @ Joann Fabrics for $1199.00 before tax.

[@forlive8104]

Tonda193 us dollar?

[@mariefriesema1437]

I bought this machine last summer, and I am so thrilled to have all the sewing options at my disposal. Great price, and certainly worth every penny. This video helped me gain confidence in using all the bells and whistles on the Opal 690Q. Thanks for sharing this. :)

[@juliemenezes254]

Great video. Thank you for making it :-)

[@karinullrich3786]

Trank you so much for introduction, ist was so helpful for me. Best wishes from Germany

[@grannyontheblvd]

Great video. I just bought this machine and this video provided a perfect introduction.

[@forlive8104]

grannyontheblvd can you tell me the price?

[@grannyontheblvd]

About $1100.00 I bought some other accessories and spent $1200.

[@essejd]

Excellent. Many many thanks 👍🙂🌸

[@blondeshugar1149]

Great instruction! you just got me through "buttonhole"... Thank you

[@cheryllathrop3778]

Thank you. Very helpful. It would have been nice to see the free motion quilting and basting stitches on the purple fabric.

[@user-nu8ir2ds7x]

Thank you there were tips I hadn’t realised existed I really enjoyed being able to do something as simple as “basting” I haven’t had my machine very long and was frustrated that I couldn’t work out which was the actual stitch I had been lengthening the straight stitch. I just need to find some classes that teach quilting.

[@FrostElement]

This review is fantastic. I just bought this machine 2 weeks ago. I love it more and more. Thank you so much for making and sharing this review. Do you know that is the thickest thread that can be used in the machine? I tried using some thick uv protection thread for a surfboard bag that will be stored outside. The machine had trouble with the thread. Thank you.

[@eadiesharp7725]

Great video! Wonderful intro to a fabulous machine! Thank you for making it! So now that I've got my 690Q, I have my eyes open for an embroidery machine. Would love to be able to create more than the simple pretty stitches on my Viking. Any machine suggestions for a beginner?

[@fashiongirlnyc3351]

Thank you for posting this video for the Opal 690Q!! It is so helpful!! I recently purchased this machine and recommended your video to my friends that purchased the same machine. Keep up the great work with your videos!! BTW Love the quilt in the background, do you do quilt videos too??

[@leelongeway7117]

[@tenholiehu7106]

Looks like the weakest part of this machine is this ancient touch screen which is not sensitive enough. You have to press several times the same "back" button e.g. when selecting fabric settings. They should update the screen to color one with better resolution and sensitivity like e.g. Pfaff ambition 630 has. Otherwise this looks great machine. Don't know should I end up to Pfaff instead of this??? Anyway, great video!

[@francoishallauer4512]

Please have you one french build of your excellent video ? Thanks

[@ellengibbons4933]

Hi thanks for the video can you tell me why my bobbin cotton is not cutting

[@jaime1251]

How much does it weigh? Is it light enough to take to classes?

[@anng2113]

Lovely machine, but the foot control makes an awful noise. Is this normal with this machine?

[@Happinessiscrossstitching]

Great video, please can you tell me if there is a walking foot for this machine to quilt with?

[@Tonda193]

You have to purchase the walking foot separately.

[@cjacob9875]

why does my fix comes on everytime i cut thread.

[@action4healthusana]

est video I have watched

[@joannrodgers2423]

Is it possible to purchase the table extension

[@j.bozanik871]

How many stitches does she sew per minute?

[@estellestone5322]

I keep re-watching this video. You say in the beginning that the little piece at the top is ONLY for winding the bobbin, but you don't use it all for winding the bobbin in this video. I'm having trouble. I can't wind my bobbin. What am I doing wrong? Why don't you use that little thread tension for bobbin winding??

[@marylynch282]

I have been watching sapphire and opal videos in comparison shopping. On a sapphire one (similar bobbin wind set up) it was mentioned the little knob is used when you aren't winding the bobbin thru a threaded needle.

[@jo0mee]

My husband JUST bought this for me for Christmas. I've only used it twice since and already the automatic thread cutter isnt working correctly. The top thread gets cut just fine but the bobbin thread isnt getting cut. Do you have any idea why? I am not sure what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for this video. It's pretty much the only comprehensive video out there for this machine.

[@jo0mee]

HAH! so i re-watched the video and realized i've been forgetting to "click" in my bobbin thread in that first metal piece. all fixed :)

Price?

[@maryvonnevitet5933]

bonjour je voudrais le mode d emploi sois dit en francais car je ne connais l anglais de la viking opal 690qmerci

[@martinadrien6245]

Pouvez-vous traduire en français s'il vous plaît.

[@chevydude658]

A "spull" of thread. Spull?

[@crishickey8239]

Spool

[@scorpiomk1]

The upper thread is NOT threaded correctly ! The thread MUST run clockwise, NOT the yarn roll !! This is also stated in the manual. The photo is misleading. The thread is also NOT threaded correctly. The thread MUST be led to the far left after the "click" under the nose. Also is so in the manual and is also recognizable in the photo Greetings from Germany
