The Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 835 is a great machine to step into from the "traditional" machine we think of. The Sapphire 835 offers the Exclusive Sensor System or EES. It automatically senses the thickness of what's under the presser foot. Continually checking the thickness it changes how much pressure is needed for even precise sewing. It runs over any thickness you throw at it. Makes hemming jeans a cinch when coming onto and getting through that bulky side seam. With the needle down activated turning corners and following curves is almost like sewing with power steering. Every time you stop sewing the needle lands down and the foot pops up in a hoover position so you have both hands free to control your work. So it eliminates having to physically lift the presser foot. It does it for you. Two sewing lights let's you get a good view of your sewing area. The throat of the machine is 10" deep so it can accommodate most double size to queen size quilting. The obstacle of quilting wall hangings, table runners and baby quilts will fade away with the ease of this machine. And of course winding a bobbin while the needle is threaded is always been a standard of Husqvarna Viking. Machine comes with a good array of decorative stitches, quilting stitches and of course mending and buttonholes to choose from. Upper and lower case alphabet including numbers (not to mention the "@") will let you label any project you finish. Three cutters ( By the needle, bobbin area and bobbin winding) add to making sewing easier. Last but not least is the jam free hook Husqvarna Viking has always had make sewing that much more enjoyable. This machine will be making a great Christmas present I'm sure that will surprise and make them fall in love with sewing all over again.Read full review

I have a 40 year old Viking sewing machine which I have loved but I cannot use for machine quilting as there are no free motion presser feet that work with it. I needed to upgrade to a newer machine but one I could afford. This machine did all the things I needed such as needle stopping in the down position, programmable adjustments for the the free motion presser foot, stitching speed adjustments and a longer arm than my little portable old Viking. It arrived in good condition, looking brand new. It took a little to figure out all the new computerized settings but it is enough like my old machine to easily adapt. I might have preferred the newer model with tension sensing but this machine was within my budget. I am happy with the product

I had been looking for a new sewing machine to finally replace my entry level machine, a Huskystar E20 (which, by the way, is a great machine as well and got me through several years of sewing projects and never gave me any problems)since I have been sewing much more lately. I saw this beautiful machine in a sewing machine store and loved all the automatic and built in features it had, but the price was more than I wanted to spend. Then I saw it here for sale, used but in great condition, on ebay for about half of the retail, and I had to have it. I have enjoyed many features of this machine, including the needle threader; the auto needle and foot up and down with the tap of the foot pedal; the drop in bobbin with a clear cover so that you can see how much bobbin thread is remaining; the ability to wind a bobbin without unthreading the needle; the suggested stitch types when the fabric type is specified; the feature that allows the presser foot to rise enough according to your fabric type and for you to pivot the fabric when the needle is left down as you sew; the extra long sewing surface with two lights, and many other features. The stitches come out perfectly and the machine runs very smoothly. I would highly recommend this machine to anyone who is a serious sewer and who wants a great quality machine.Read full review
this machine is in near perfect condition sews beautifully makes my machine applique so easy the special pivit makes it so easy to get into tight turns and corners where you take 2 or 3 stitches and pivit. I can't say how it totally meets my need to speed thru the process.

It was time for me to replace my old Viking 500. I loved the old machine and considered getting the same model. When I saw the Sapphire I bid on it and am amazed at how well it works. It has features that make my sewing experience easier than ever. Very heavy duty to lightweight fabric sew with ease. I am very happy with this machine.
