Husqvarna Viking Onyx 25

The Husqvarna Viking Onyx 25 is a mechanical sewing machine for beginners who want room to grow. It keeps the simple dials of the Onyx 15 and adds a one-step buttonhole, adjustable stitch width up to 6 mm, 32 stitches and a quarter-inch piecing foot, so garments, home decor and small quilts are all within reach.

Why buy from Imagine Sewing & Vacuum

• Authorized Husqvarna Viking dealer. Husqvarna Viking limits its warranty to machines bought from authorized dealers, so your Onyx 25 is covered by Husqvarna Viking's 10-year limited warranty.
• Sewing specialists since 1922. We've helped sewists and quilters choose the right machine for more than a century.
• Factory-trained technicians. The people who service Husqvarna Viking machines can help with threading, tension and buttonhole questions, before and after you buy.

Simple dials with room to grow

• Buttonholes in one step. Put the button in the slider foot, pull down the buttonhole lever and sew. The foot sizes the buttonhole to the button.
• Width you control. A stitch width dial adjusts zigzag and decorative stitches up to 6 mm, and stitch length goes up to 4 mm.
• 32 stitches on one dial. Utility, stretch, blind hem and decorative stitches are printed on the selector.
• Accurate quarter-inch seams. The included Quilter's 1/4" Piecing (P) foot helps patchwork blocks line up.
• Faster setup. The built-in needle threader and top drop-in bobbin with a clear cover get you sewing quickly.
• Light or heavy fabric. Adjustable presser foot pressure and an extra-lift foot position help with silky fabrics and thick layers.
• Free arm and free-motion. Remove the accessory tray for sleeves and cuffs, or drop the feed teeth for darning and free-motion stitching.

Is the Onyx 25 right for you?

It's the best fit if you're learning to sew garments, making home decor or starting to piece quilts, and you want a machine you won't outgrow after the first buttonhole.

Good to know before you buy: the Onyx 25 is mechanical, so there's no screen, lettering, needle up/down button, speed slider or automatic thread cutter. You control speed with the foot pedal. It doesn't have the 8-inch sewing space of the Opal line, so big quilts are harder to manage.

• Only need basic mending and hems? The Husqvarna Viking Onyx 15 has 23 stitches and a 4-step buttonhole.
• Want a speed slider and needle up/down on a dial machine? The Husqvarna Viking Emerald 118 has both, with an automatic buttonhole foot and hard cover.
• Want lettering and an automatic thread cutter? The computerized Husqvarna Viking Onyx 30 has more than 150 stitches, two fonts and 7 mm stitch width.
• Planning bigger quilts? The Husqvarna Viking Opal 670 gives you 8 inches of sewing space and 200 stitches.

Expert tip

"Two steps trip up new Onyx 25 owners on buttonholes. Pull the thread through the hole in the buttonhole foot and under it before you start, and lower the buttonhole lever, then push it gently back before you sew. When the buttonhole is done, push the lever all the way up again. Always sew a test buttonhole on a scrap first."
