Husqvarna Viking is a company with a long-standing record of producing fine sewing machines. Husqvarna has been around for over a century, during which time it has continued to produce some of the best, innovative sewing machines on the market. Today they continue to create machines of the utmost quality with a range of machines tailored to everyone from young beginners up to advanced seamstresses.
Brief History
Husqvarna Viking began way back in 1689 as a royal arms factory. The factory continued producing arms right up until the early 1870s, when the request for rifles had begun to steadily fall. Something needed to take the place of production in the factory, so in 1872 it was decided that Husqvarna Viking would manufacture sewing machines. That same year, Husqvarna produced its very first machine, given the name “Nordsjernan” (The Northern Star). The next year Husqvarna created the Freja model which was an immediate success due to the fact it could sew in a straight line – something most machines of the day could not do. The Freja model was manufactured under different guises until 1925. Since that time, Husqvarna Viking has continued to introduce new, innovative machines year after year, giving it a prominent place in the sewing machine industry.

Buying Second Hand

Sights like eBay have made it easy to find that perfect sewing machine for a fraction of its original retail price. When you are shopping, be sure to look at the pictures carefully and ask a lot of questions so you are sure to get the machine that’s right for you.
