Husqvarna Viking Emerald 116

Just purchased my Viking Emerald 116 yesterday. Have been sewing ever since. My last machine was 44 years old, I figured it was time for an upgrade. I did not know that I could have been sewing over those blue jeans seams with ease when putting in a new hem; never heard of a stretch stitch; serging thrilled me to death and my old machine weighs as much as a Sherman Tank. I am estatic. Will be taking classes to see what else I have been missing after sewing for 60 years!

I’m new to sewing so I’m taking sewing classes. Its light and has very basic features. I think this is the right machine for beginners like myself who do not want to jump in with both feet and shell out a lot of money in something that may end up collecting dust in the attic. Affordable and easy to use is how I would describe the Viking Emerald 116. I will definitely buy a Viking when the time comes for me to upgrade.
