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.

Congratulations....my daughter picked up the Epic not long ago, but her job has her traveling a lot, think I will tell her to bring it over to me. LOL

Congratulations, I must admit to a little envy. I have an HV designer, so would love one with a big hoop. Hope you have a lot of fun with it.

Chris 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).

How 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

Congrats 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

Hi Nan, no I haven't come up with a name as yet, I hadn't even thought of that. I'll have to have a long think about it. Can't wait to sew on it. Love Chris
