Is Designer Epic 3 Good, Bad, Or Downright Ugly?

Is Designer Epic 3 Good, Bad, Or Downright Ugly?
I thank very much for your reviews. My question is how come machines used to last for over 100 years. I have a Destiny and is a 10 years old machine. Its an old machine. And people say that there are no more parts available. So I think that is tottaly unfair. Just unethical.
It's ideal to have a machine that lasts a lifetime because it saves the environment and our wallets. But, its not good for companies (Hence why 90% of the vintage machine companies are out of business).
I try Babylock and Brother. The difference among them is the Dysney design are the big difference. I try both and I truly prefer the Babylock.
I own a Babylock Solaris Vision along with several other modern and vintage machines. I traded my Destiny for the Solaris and will stop there. The Solaris is wonderful…but it is too heavy to make it a classroom/retreat option. It also did not fit in my Koala Studio. Luckily I have an Aria that is a perfect fit. My Dealer has tried to get me to upgrade, but I am quite content with my current sewing machine fleet. Thank you for such a thorough review.
I have bought sheet sets to use as yardage when making sleepwear.
Wow. I bet that makes some awesome sleepwear. :-)
And not PES format. That was the final straw for me. Not going to fool with it. Will use what I have. No way do I want to have to fool with every embroidery file.
I doubt Brother makes 1,000 of the Aveneer. Way too expensive. I will keep my Stellaire XJ2. At least I got a good price on the Stellaire. Just not worth the $$. I kept getting emails from Brother on the Aveneer. They finally stopped sending the emails. If anything I hope this pushes down the price for all the other Brother sewing machines.
There have only been a handful of viewers who say they are in the market for these expensive machines. So, I don't think they are for the masses.
amazing comparative consumer research. thank you for sharing
Too big not only will you need a big table you will need a big room so your table can be way out from the wall when that big embroidery hoop is on to keep from hitting the wall. The weight is just too much for most gals. Price is way too much. And I don’t like designs as big as that biggest hoop. Thinks they are being cheap in only giving 4 hoops with that price machine.NOT a machine I would even consider.
I have no idea how you would get this machine in for servicing. Its almost like an industrial where you need a tech to come out to your house.
The price is too expensive. It’s just a 1000 dollars shy of what I spent on my new car in 2021! I could never justify it. (Or afford it) also, much of the ‘bells and whistles’ are things I would ever use.
Once you remove all those features, its just a darn sewing machine. Besides, you can use the car to buy more fabric :-)
Thanks for the information! I been there and I don't want to do that anymore. Sellers don't tell you the truth about the machines!
Thank you. Not a machine I would buy but all info on sewing machines is good.
I have the Janome M17 and love it! The motor is commercial grade and really makes the difference in sewing and embroidery. I have no regrets in my purchase.
This video got me measuring my vintage machines and it turns out I got a whopping 9.5 Inches of harp space on a 1913 Singer 66k so it's taken 111 years for Jones to finally beat Singer at something.
😂
Too much of a thing...is too much of a good thing. I struggle paying for a machine that is 5000.00 for my up grade, combo machines make me nervous one thing goes wrong... you already know Lol and if you are a business owner you lost money.@ deniseg7340 I agree we never use our machines at it's full capacity. New machines come out too soon...every year! People just finished paying off the machines they have. Thanks for the info.
Quite a machine, priced out of my market.
Awesome review! Very thoughtful and honest. As a business analyst I am going to analyze the cost of the machine compared to the upgrades from all the other top of the line machines, encouraged and influenced by your review points. Great job! ❤❤❤
Won't be buying. Too expensive and not a nice looking machine. I have a babylock ellisimo and Bernina 830LE and between them both I have what I want. These machines are too heavy to take anywhere so you would still need another to take to classes or even take to the cottage.
Computers went from being the size of a guest bedroom to fitting in a pocket. So, I don't understand why sewing machines are getting bigger instead of becoming smaller with advances in technology. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the review. For me the major sticking point is that you are only gaining 1 inch of extra width. Had Brother extended the width by more then it may have been worth considering. 12 inches should have been the minimum. Also I would expect the design of the largest hoop and its long length v. short width will allow for fabric slippage despite pinning. It is certainly the case with the Luminaire largest hoop. Most of the other new features and not useful enough to warrant such a high price tag. Not into Disney (most of them are too small to do anything with).
Hmm. I didn't think about fabric slippage using the long hoop. Thanks for mentioning because I'm going to look into it.
It will definitely be a challenge to keep fabric properly hooped in that largest hoop. My largest hoop is 8x12 and works for all I want to do. I can easily see it taking an hour to prepare a hoop and pin, tape, do all you would need to do to keep the project in place.
Too expensive. Although I like the features I have a babylock Ellisimo that was a top of the line way back and its fantastic and I still don't use some of the features. For this price I can buy a nice used 2nd vehicle which would take me to all the fabric stores!
Fair enough! I prefer fabric to machines too. LOL
I'm just now seeing this review, and I think that it's spot-on. I think you're right in your assessment of who Berninas' target customer is. Older with disposable income. And not just any sewist, but a quilter. That's key, because quilters spend the most money of any consumers in the home sewing industry. So of course they'd build a machine that caters to them. I've heard that these machines are really popular with that demographic. Good for Bernina. Now as to the other thing that you stated about this machine that I find really accurate, and seeing how different manufacturers are debuting new TOL machines, I think what you said applies across the board: "A lot of people get caught up in the features of a new machine, and don't really take the time to consider if the machine is actually for them." Amen to that. When this machine made it's debut, I'll admit that I was drooling. That is, until I did a run-down of how much the payments per month would be, and for how many years until it would officially be mine. And not mine and the banks'. That plus the fact that although it has all kinds of neat stuff in it, what gave me the most pause...well the price did that, but still...was the fact that I'm not a quilter. I'm a garment sewist. Really, all I need are two stitches : straight and zig-zag. All those thousands of other things that the machine can do are mind and pocketbook blowing, but honestly? I wouldn't be using them much, if at all. I've longed for a Bernina for decades, and quite a few years ago now, got one (Artista 730e) from a Craigslist seller. She sold it to me for a song. Four hundred dollars, to be exact, and it was the best money I've spent on sewing products, hands down. I'm in the market for another (the 730 has issues) USED machine. For those that want all the bells and whistles, I think it's great. For others, I'd encourage (whether this or any TOL model) to really think about what one needs out of a machine, the cost and go from there. '
I really wish there was a nicer machine for us garment makers with great lighting, a narrow free arm, metal construction, and few stitches on it. Thanks for watching.
@@ThimbleBook You probably are describing a Juki industrial. Except for the narrow free arm, that is. Which brings me to my point. I figured that if I were to purchase a new machine, it would be an industrial. I've become spoiled by having the luxury of computer technology stuffed in a sewing machine and don't want to do without it. Plus a zig-zag stitch for making buttonholes. Went looking for such an industrial, and found that there isn't one (to my knowledge) that has everything I'd want. A compromise would be that I'd have to go for a machine that isn't computerized (they exist, but the computer is for mass production applications) and only does a straight-stitch. So. Back to the used Bernina search for me. Probably just as well. The industrials need a dedicated table base and might need a separate motor, depending.
How about oiling it? Does it even have oiling points? I suppose when you have a 25K sewing machine you hire someone to service it once a year. 150 year old sewing machines still run today because people oiled them every time they used them
You don't oil this, it need to go back to the dealer once a year. Btw you are wrong about 150 year old sewing machines needing oiling every time they used them to keep them alive, they are better than that :) I've just serviced a 111 year old singer that was completely seized and all I needed to do was unscrew three screws, clean it with a rag soaked in machine oil give it a drink, then tip it to do the undercarriage as well. These machines cost 6 months wages for the average women when new and the metal they used (up until the 201k) was of such high quality that the gears and feed dogs are still sharp to this day. Downside is that the machine in front of me on the work bench comes in at 36lb and only does the one stitch with what I'd guess is a maximum of 4 stitch length.
The books recommend oiling after each use. But, my great grandmothers red eye sat in storage 40 years without an oil and sprang back into action without a problem. You are correct! Those machines were made to take a beating. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
@@SewingandCaring Yeah, the cost in 1900 was what I was thinking about, actually. Very, very expensive and that's why people took care of them. Of all my machines, the 3 in my sewing space are a 201-2, 15-91 and an 80's vintage Kenmore in case I need those exotic zig-zag stitches. :)
I wonder who the target customer is for this machine. Certainly not the average domestic sewist and it's not going to stand up to factory of industrial uses. I mean, after Trump and Elon Musk buy one, who's left?
In the UK and some other European countries you can write business experiences off against tax. Tell the tax man you need to embroider logos on all your employees shirts and then you can use it as hard as you like then part exchange it against the latest model each year.
If you are a retired neurosurgeon, maybe.
It's a nice machine. It is too expensive to take the risks as with the Viking epic 3. I will watch and wait! Thanks again for sharing!
I have seen machines for sale on trade in at a fraction of the costs. So, if you were interested in getting one of these machines, I think it would make more financial sense to buy a gently used one.
My Skyline S9 is a 9mm machine, and a 10th of the price. Yes, my hoop is only 6x10, but it was 90% cheaper! Also, how does a projected buttonhole help with vertical spacing if the screen is 6x8” ( I think you said)? You can’t project all the buttonholes all the way down the shirt at once to check spacing.
You make an excellent point. I think the projector shows up 2inches behind the needle. So realistically, you would only be able to see 3 buttons at a time. To me, it still makes more sense to mark them out with chalk the old school way.
This is another fantastic video from you!!!! And I agree with you that paying 25K for a Single-needle Home Embroidery/Quilting/Sewing Combo machine is too much. And I don't do Disney Designs at all, and I am an Embroiderer, not a Sewist or a Quilter. I and have done designs that required 29 different colors, and I haven't made them in a single needle machine, I had used TWO 15-Needle embroidery machines that I own, one with the first 15 colors, and then switch the hoop to the second 15-needle machine that had the second half of the design. And I paid just 11K for both machines from NEW OLD STOCK!!! And one of them has a special adapter to add Sequins, Yarn, Beads or Ribbons!!! I also have the PFAFF ICON 2 that I got DEMO for 8100.00 USD as a helper/supplement for designs that only use 1-4 colors, and it also has WiFi and is connected to mySewNet by subscription. I had wished that all these single-needle machines could have some kind of adapter to use the Coloreel thread dying/coloring system coz in that fashion you can enter ANY COLOR into the design, and that system will dye the thread in the proper color and to be applied to the machine, and that system is 33K per machine, but you don't have to continuously buy thread spools of different colors, just one white 5000m 40wt thread spool that will be used to be dyed by the system. Plus, the Coloreel comes with its own software for you to do whatever design you want and with 1000+ colors!!!! So for me the perfect embroidery system would be one of my 15-needle machines using Coloreel, or something like that, but at 261 pounds is too heavy, but will do EVERYTHING- caps, flat embroidery, 100+ color designs, multiple size hoops, either regular or magnetic hoops, tubular embroidery, Puff embroidery, embossed embroidery, Beads, sequins, yarn, ribbons, etc. But that is too expensive and heavy still, and is just my dream as a retiree......
Excellent review and helpful analysis. I feel the least liked part of quilting is the basting. The hoops take part of that away, but you'll have to change so often that you'll still end with wrinkles and gaps. So I will keep my existing set up - Longarm and Sewing Machine with embroidery. I think they missed on the regulator. Thank you, Sheree!!
I totally agree!
Thank you for your evaluation! Lots of good information.
Nope, definitely not for me. I think the target market for these flagship machines forget that under all the novelties and gizmos, this is just a machine that puts thread through fabric.
Who IS the target market? The price is insane
@@sewntype As far as I can tell it's older folks who have run out of things to spend their money on.
Thanks for the info but I think I'll keep my Luminaire and buy a multi needle for embroidery, The Brother 6 needle goes on sale for less than half the price of the Aveneer. Saves me about $13,000 + tax
You still have to thread those 6 needles too unless you only want 6 colors on everything. I’m trading my upgraded Lumi 3 for the Baby Lock Radiance ( just saying no more to Disney) because I didn’t trade up before and now my old machine is worth less than 1/7 of the original price. The trade in values can be quite good depending on your dealer.
Yes, trade in values are pretty good so long as you find the right dealer and upgrade frequently. Congrats on the Baby Lock Radiance. Its probably the one I would pick too if I were going to buy one of these machines.
Yes!
Thank you for the information🤩
With the embroidery arm on both machines weight 60 lbs. These machines are nice but I would never use all the stitches. Plus they weigh too much for transport to retreats. As far a embroidery I love the idea of such a big hoop. It would be perfect for quilting, but at this price they could have included magnetic hoops; which are a game changer when it comes to embroidery. I truly enjoy your informational vlogs.
Not magnetic hoops seems like such an odd decision given that the Skitch has them, the only thing I can think is that the magnets could bend an enormous hoop if they get the design wrong.
Thanks for letting me know how much it weights altogether. Yes, it would have been better for them to include magnetic hoops. Thanks for watching.
I don’t know if I should feel impressed with this brand new machine. Brother or the factory where this machines came and it used to design groundbreaking industrial technology, but this time feels different. It’s hard to shake the feeling that this is just an average machine, nothing special at all.
It makes for good marketing to add a bunch of fun features that seem cool. But in the long term, those features never get used by the end consumer. Once you remove the fun factor, it is just a regular sewing machine.
great video ,thanks , instagram?
Yes, its listed in the description
Super cool machine but not for me; it's too heavy and too expensive. We are on a fixed income and have a mortgage. I struggle to carry my 21 lb Brother Innovis NQ1300PRW and am looking for a sturdy sew it all machine under 18 lbs. After 8 years, I've only used about 30% of the available stitches and features on the Brother 1300 and it seemed expensive at $1,500.00 (the updated one is $1,999.00!).
The Innovis is a nice machine. I like my machine light enough to carry around but heavy duty enough that it wont bounce around. Pfaff Passport 2.00 weights 14LBS. They are currenly on sale for $600 brand new. But, I've found them on marketplace in the $300 range. Only issue with that is that the throat space isn't very large. Thanks for watching.
What a wealth of information. I was given my first sewing machine in the early 90’s by my aunt, a singer 401, will all disks, she made wedding gowns. Then in 2000’s left to my husband another singer rocketeer, from his mom. I quilt, and have used the old singers and my Juki, Haruka straight stitch only .
Awesome :-) Yes, those Singer vintage machines work really well. Only reason I'd upgrade to the Juki would be for lighting and a little more speed.
How do I get the stitch length to change? I’ve moved the dial, but stitch stays tiny
It sounds like you have a problem with your machine. There are a few different issues that could result in the stitch length not changing. The most common issue is the feed dogs. Is the bobbin case area and the space underneath your feed dogs free of lint? Also, are your feed dogs 1mm above the needle plate. If not you'll need to make some adjustments or take it in for service.
@@ThimbleBook thank you for the quick reply. I’ll check those. I just thought I was missing something cause I didn’t even realize the inside of the dial pushed in, which I still can’t figure out why but it doesn’t seem to affect the length.
Thanks for this video. I’ve used a Bernina machine for many years, but haven’t tried embroidery. This looks like a good one for a beginner! I loved this video. Thank you.
You don’t use grease on those buttons you use machine oil and getting it on plastic doesn’t hurt a thing
@@lindadalton2668 the oil wears the plastic over time…. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
The plastic gear you spoke of in the Singer 401a is called Textolite. Textolite is a material developed General Electric. It consists of a fiber wound gear infused with bakelite. The chances of it failing is less than bending the needle bar or destroying the hook assembly. I have never known of or spoken to another repair person who has seen this gear fail.
They really do last a long time because I've never seen one broken either.
Q: is there any way to still buy a new machine today AND buypass the weak spots (motherboard)? i.e. will we be able to repair our own motherboards for example? So well made and interesting researched video I couldn't have said it better. I am sad for all the newcomer sewing peeps that are lured into buying expensive new machines with short lives.
🌷🌷Thank You For Sharing, Good Job!🌷
While many manufacturers are now offering a high speed straight stitch machine, a simplified high speed universal straight stitch/ zig zag with a 2.5 amp motor is what many of us who sew professionally would love for travel. I used to costume for shows and traveled a lot on tours. A machine that does the aforementioned would set itself apart from those who do professional garment making .
I agree 1000%. This is something I've wanted for a very long time.
Thank you for this very well done video! I am considering this machine when my Cricut Maker dies. I have had a Silhouette 4 Pro and currently also own a Brother Scan and Cut that I am about to throw out a window, so I am researching options for the future. I make doll clothes and appreciate the cutting machines for their accuracy.
Necessity is the mother of invention! I like that you are trying to solve a problem. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I am hoping for a hook handle with the same ergonomics of my homemade one, but with less weight. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you for this because it is very helpful
Elna Lotus is a favourite of mine.
Cool
Anyone know if this is available in the UK?
I am not sure. They seem to be available in very few places right now.
Great scissors! I have them in straight and pinking shears. Really saves your hands.❤
