This extensive range ensures that users can find a machine that perfectly suits their needs, whether they are beginners or experienced sewists.
Continued innovation
Throughout its long history, Husqvarna Viking has been at the forefront of innovation in the sewing machine industry. One notable example is the Freja model, introduced in the early days of the company. The Freja model revolutionized sewing with its ability to sew perfect lines of stitches, powered by gears and incorporating small mechanical components. This innovation set the foundation for the brand’s ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge features and technology in their sewing machines.
In addition, Husqvarna Viking introduced the first non-oil sewing machine in the 1970s. Their other more recent innovations include creating the first machine with reverse feed stitches.
Husqvarna Viking’s Designer I introduced the sensor system (automatically adjusting the foot pressure according to the thickness of the fabric) which also had the first colour touchscreen. They also created the deLuxe stitch system, which adjusts the stitch according to the type of thread used, reducing breakage.
What is the history of the brand?
Husqvarna Viking boasts a rich history that dates back to 1689, when the royal family established an arms factory in the Swedish town of Huskvarna, from which the company derived its name. In 1757, the factory changed hands and became privately owned, adopting the name Husqvarna. Interestingly, despite the shift in ownership and name, the factory continued to manufacture firearms well into the mid-1800s. However, the onset of the Industrial Revolution and its impact on global economies prompted Husqvarna to take a significant turn in its business approach.
Recognizing the changing landscape, Husqvarna diversified its product range beyond weapons and ventured into the production of household appliances such as bicycles and sewing machines. In 1872, the factory was converted into a sewing machine manufacturing facility, aligning with the declining demand for their arms. During this transformative period, Husqvarna introduced remarkable sewing machines that garnered tremendous success.
Fast forward to the present day, Husqvarna Viking stands as an unmistakable symbol of luxurious, top-quality sewing machines. In 2022, the company celebrated its momentous 150-year anniversary, solidifying its position as a venerable presence in the industry.
A new machine has been released recently to celebrate this anniversary – the Tribute 150C.
