(CLEVELAND, OH) . . . Sewing is everywhere, have you noticed? Every time you turn on the TV you see people stitching up duvets, perfecting their pillow prowess or making clothing out of flowers and leaves. So what’s stopping you? Is it price? Is it lessons?
Drop the question marks because the answer is found in a new line of sewing machines developed by the industry’s most prestigious manufacturer, Husqvarna Viking. The Huskystar by Husqvarna Viking (www.huskystar.net) line of quality easy-to-use sewing machines offers you, beginner or expert, the right stitches, at the right price and the right person to teach you how to use it.
“The lessons are essential to your confidence and in the proper use of any machine,” says Cathy Wilson, education director for Husqvarna Viking. So often, it is the lack of knowing the best foot for your task, the best needle for your fabric and how to set your machine properly for your fabric weight and type that leads to sewing frustration.
Instead of going home with the box and your fingers crossed, you go home with the confidence that you are going to learn how to use the machine properly for instant sewing success. That’s because, the Huskystar line of machines, priced perfectly for the new and latent sewer or someone looking to add a second or third machine to their repertoire, can only be found at your local Husqvarna Viking retailer.
The new machines range from models featuring one-step buttonholers, memory functions and digital info display screens like the 60-stitch C10 and the 120-stitch C20 to basic machines suited for the new enthusiast; the E20 with 34 utility and stretch stitches and one-step buttonhole and the E10 complete with an easy-to-do four-step buttonhole and retailing at $149; lessons and all.
If you just want to decorate your life in an affordable manner, look no further. The Huskystar line includes an embroidery only machine, the EM10, featuring software that lets you customize with any true type font in your PC plus has a USB cable to transfer any design, any format, directly to your machine. The EM10 comes with 202 embroidery designs and a 4” X 4” hoop, the perfect compliment to your regular sewing machine.
Best part, when you purchase one of the machines from you Husqvarna Viking retailer, you will receive an added value package, called Enjoy!, of $250 filled with educational information, project ideas, inspiration and money-saving coupons so you can continue to affordably nuture your sewing habit quite nicely throughout the year.
So, if you want to trade spaces with your neighbor and stitch up a valance or two or perhaps you were considering a second career as a fashion designer, the requirement to satisfy your urge to be creative and save money using threads, needles and fabrics is only a minimal investment complete with the tools, or lessons, you need to succeed.
