Husqvarna Viking Designer Topaz 40 Sewing and Embroidery Machine

The Husqvarna Viking Designer Topaz 40 is a sewing and embroidery machine with built-in help for both. It embroiders designs up to 240 x 150 mm (about 9.5" x 6") and trims jump stitches as it goes. For sewing, you get 200 mm (almost 8 inches) of space, a 3.5" color touch screen and the Exclusive SENSOR SYSTEM for even feeding.

Why buy from Imagine Sewing & Vacuum

• Authorized Husqvarna Viking dealer. Husqvarna Viking limits its warranty to machines bought from authorized dealers, so your Topaz 40 is covered by Husqvarna Viking's 20-year limited warranty.
• Sewing specialists since 1922. We've helped sewists and embroiderers choose the right machine for more than a century.
• Factory-trained technicians. The people who service Husqvarna Viking machines can help with hooping, design positioning and embroidery file questions, before and after you buy.
• Free shipping on orders over $299. This machine qualifies.

Smart help for sewing and embroidery

• Even feeding on any fabric. The Exclusive SENSOR SYSTEM continuously senses fabric thickness and adjusts presser foot pressure, so thin and thick fabrics both feed smoothly.
• Settings chosen for you. Pick your fabric and technique, and the Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR feature sets the stitch, length, width, speed, tension and foot pressure.
• Hands free to pivot. Stop with the needle down and the sensor foot lifts to pivot height. Press twice for Extra Lift to change hoops.
• Less trimming after embroidery. Automatic Jump Stitch Trim cuts the connecting threads as you stitch, and the selective thread cutter trims at every color change.
• Edit on screen. Combine up to five designs, then scale and rotate them in one-degree steps with the included stylus.
• Join large embroideries. Basic Design Positioning lines up each new hooping with the last, so borders meet where you want them.
• Plenty of stitches. 208 stitches, 4 sewing fonts, 29 needle positions and 7 Sensor One-Step Buttonholes.

Is the Topaz 40 right for you?

It's the best fit if you want 240 x 150 mm embroidery and guided sewing on many kinds of fabric, and you don't need Wi-Fi or giant hoops.

Good to know before you buy: the Topaz 40 has no Wi-Fi; designs and updates go on a USB stick. Its 3.5" screen is small next to newer models, its needle threader is manual, and its largest hoop is the included 240 x 150 mm one.

• Want Wi-Fi and a 7" touch screen? The Husqvarna Viking Designer Quartz 29 has both, but a smaller 170 x 100 mm embroidery area, and it loads only .VP3 files.
• Want much larger hoops? The Husqvarna Viking Designer Sapphire 85 takes hoops up to 360 x 350 mm and adds an 8" touch screen, Wi-Fi and 250 mm of sewing space.
• Want the most room to work? The Husqvarna Viking Designer Ruby 90 has 310 mm of space to the right of the needle, a 10.1" touch screen and an automatic needle threader.
• Only need to sew? The Husqvarna Opal 690Q has the same 208 stitches, Exclusive SENSOR SYSTEM and 200 mm of space, without embroidery.

Expert tip

"Before you change hoops or take the hoop off, press the presser foot button twice so the foot rises to Extra Lift. That clearance lets the hoop slide past the embroidery foot without bumping it. Leave Automatic Jump Stitch Trim on, too. It saves a lot of snipping on lettering."
