12 Feb Husqvarna/Viking SewFest 2012
The theme of SewFest 2012 was “Celebrating 140 Years of Magical Innovations”. We are proud of our heritage. It inspires us everyday. We are especially proud that you, our loyal sewing enthusiasts, having been part of our history and future.
Since our first sewing machine-the NORTHERN STAR TM -saw the light of day, the HUSQVARNA VIKING brand has been at the forefront of sewing innovations that delight sewers. As we celebrate our 140th anniversary, we present two specially designed Limited Edition models appropriately called our TRIBUTE TM sewing machines.
TRIBUTE 140C
The Tribute has exceptional capability with the extended sewing surface, large Graphic Display and dual light illumination. It has inspiring innovation that includes the Exclusive Sewing Adviser and Exclusive Sensor System. It has convenient accessibility to choose from 145 stunning stitches by a touch of the stitch picture or the number or scroll through menus and stitches with the Navigator Arrows.
Of course the Tribute has Perfectly Balanced Buttonholes – sews both side of the buttonhole in the same direction for even, balanced buttonholes. Oh, the “C” stands for computer.
Buy your Tribute C and get a exclusively designed accessory case filled with sewing essentials: 4 essential pressure feet, 8 spools of Mettler premium thread, vintage embroidery scissors, frog tool, bobbins, needles, retractable tape measure and a limited edition accessory case featuring a partitioned organizer tray.
