Hi Cuties, Look what I got!! The Husqvarna Epic 1.
I bought it from my dealer at Thorpes sewing machine shop via Suzie, who works there.It was hers, so I know it’s been looked after well.
I can’t believe the size of it and it has so many new functions.
It has a 360x260 hoop, 260x200 and a 120x120 included. Now along with my other Husqvarna Ruby Royale and her hoops, I’ve got them all from the 100x100 right up to the largest. Can’t wait to get started.
I posted this on my Facebook page and some of you have already seen it.
Love Chris
1. New Husqvarna Epic 1 (bought 20th January 2022) you can see how much longer the arm is on the Epic 1 compared to the Ruby Royale in the lower picture.
2. Ruby Royale (bought on 7th August 2018) - I'm making a Santa hanger (he's asleep inside and you are looking through the window). Will show you when finished. Another Sweetpea applique design.

Hi, I started with the Designer 1 and loved it, but have upgraded over the years. Love Chris
11506Chris I have had the Epic for a couple of years now and it's just the best machine I have ever used in all my 40 years of sewing. I hope you get as much enjoyment using it as I do mine. I think you might be blown away by some of it's functions, they are amazing.
Happy sewing, Lynne (NSW Sth Coast).

27358How wonderful for you Chris. I'm sure you feel like a kid at Christmas with a stocking. I'm thinking almost no learning curve since it's the step up from your other machine. Have a great week trying new things.

Hi Betsey, yes, the gals at Thorpes said with my knowledge of all my past Husqvarna machines I shouldn't find it hard at all. Love Chris
66927Congrats Chris. I am a total Viking girl, having started in 1997 with the 1+ and trading to Designer 1 then on to Diamond, Diamond Royale until finally Epic 1 along with newest Epic 2. I feel Vikings are the most user friendly. I hope you enjoy your new machine as much as I do mine. Have you come up with a name? Hugs. Nan
