Overview

Not a bare bones repair machine, the Husqvarna Viking Emerald adds a one step buttonhole, a needle threader and a built in reference chart. It handles garment and home decor sewing on a standard household setup.

A one step buttonhole and a reference chart lower the learning curve for home sewists. Almost no technical details are listed, which makes direct comparison difficult.

Who it's for

Dressmaking, home decor and general sewing suit this machine. Shoppers comparing stitch lists or speeds will find the listing too thin.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • One step buttonhole
  • Hard storage cover
  • Built in reference chart
Cons
  • Stitch count not listed
  • Included feet not listed
  • Speed not stated

Performance notes

A one step buttonhole sizes and sews in a single pass, which gives more consistent buttonholes than turning the fabric by hand. Overall handling of thick fabrics cannot be judged from the listing.
