HUSQVARNA VIKING DESIGNER EPIC 3 Sewing & Embroidery Machine

 New Embroidery Unit

Thoughtful engineering results in a new embroidery unit design that is easier to use, supports new embroidery techniques, and has a metal frame for durability and stability. The ergonomic hoop connection system makes it effortless to attach or detach hoops and the patent-pending embroidery unit connection makes it even easier to attach the unit to your machine.

 Free-Arm Embroidery

Embroider difficult-to-hoop projects without opening a seam. Simply slip part of your project around the free-arm when attaching the optional Free-Arm Embroidery Hoop.

The first in the industry to seamlessly embroider a special technique like felting or bobbin work, then continue stitching over that design with conventional embroidery. With the Special Techniques Hoop you don’t need to un-hoop your project, saving you time and frustration.

 Preview Before You Stitch

Preview where your embroidery will stitch out to generally place a design on your project, or easily match multiple hoopings to create embroideries at the ideal size. You can use the Exact Position feature to fine-tune for absolutely perfect placement.

Sewing Projection- Stitch Preview projects whatever you plan to stitch on the fabric before you sew, or you can easily align your stitching with an overlay of helpful lines with adjustable angles and grids of adjustable sizes in sewing mode. Achieve perfectly placed stitching while saving precious time.
