From detailed quilting to dimensional embellishment with ribbon, yarn, or beads, this machine is built to push creative boundaries.

Stitch Creator

Stitch Creator™ on VIKING® machines lets you create completely new stitches and adjust every single stitch point. You can create a stitch all on your own or alter already built–in stitches or letters. With intuitive on-screen controls, you can adjust stitch length, width, and shape with precision, allowing for endless customization. Whether you want to personalize decorative stitches or create entirely new patterns, Stitch Creator™ gives you the freedom to bring your unique sewing ideas to life with precision and flair.

Sewing & Embroidery Projection

The Projection Feature on the HUSQVARNA® VIKING® DESIGNER EPIC™ 3 takes precision to a whole new level by allowing you to preview your stitching directly on the fabric before you sew. Embroidery Projection displays your design on the hooped fabric so you can easily see where it will stitch out, helping you position motifs accurately or align multiple hoopings for larger embroidery compositions. In sewing mode, Stitch Projection shows the exact stitch you plan to sew, along with helpful adjustable gridlines and angle guides to keep seams and decorative stitching perfectly aligned. With this innovative visual guidance, you can achieve beautifully precise placement while saving time and avoiding costly mistakes. Note: The projection preview of stitches is made in front of the needle; therefore, stitches that are sewn backwards (such as buttonholes) or sideways cannot be projected properly.

It’s a practical solution for adding names, monograms, and decorative designs to ready-made garments and accessories with precision and ease.

Drop Feed

LED Lighting

Developed by optronic experts, the Epic 3 is equipped with bright, energy-efficient LED lights that illuminate your entire workspace.

Telescopic Thread Stand

The Nordic Frost includes a convenient telescopic thread stand that enhances your embroidery and sewing experience by ensuring smooth and consistent thread delivery. Adjustable to accommodate various thread spool sizes, the stand reduces tangling and interruptions, providing optimal tension for flawless stitching. Whether using small or large spools, this versatile stand helps maintain a neat, organized workspace while supporting a wide range of creative projects.

Bobbin Winder

The Designer Epic 3 features a high-speed bobbin winder that simplifies the process of preparing your machine for sewing or embroidery. Designed for convenience, the bobbin winder operates independently of the sewing function, allowing you to wind bobbins while continuing your work. With its easy-to-use setup, it quickly fills bobbins evenly, ensuring consistent tension and reducing the risk of thread tangles. This practical feature helps streamline your workflow and keeps your machine running smoothly for uninterrupted creativity.

Industry’s Largest Embroidery Area
