Husqvarna debuts innovative sewing & embroidery machines

The burgeoning Sew-It-Yourself movement, which encourages sewers to continually push the boundaries of creativity, inspired the new DESIGNER DIAMOND Royale and DESIGNER TOPAZ 50 sewing and embroidery machines, SAPPHIRE 960Q and SAPPHIRE 930 sewing machines, and the PLATINUM16 mid-arm quilting machine.

"Our newest sewing and embroidery machines reflect Husqvarna Viking's commitment to sewers worldwide who are eager to go as far as their machines and imaginations will take them even as their busy lives demand the maximum in capability and convenience," said Katrina Helmkamp, CEO of SVP Worldwide, source of the HUSQVARNA VIKING, SINGER, and PFAFF sewing machine brands. "Now it is easier than ever before for sewers to upgrade to regal standards with their machines and software, achieving beautifully brilliant results in record time."
