History Can Be Fun!

The history of things and events can be fun. It takes a little time for this to mellow, but it can happen. Bobby and I have been involved with Husqvarna Viking sewing machines since about mid 1987. We have seen many changes take place within the company with personnel changes and advancements in the features and capabilities of the machines. We were a part of the celebration of 300 years of manufacturing at Huskvarna Falls and the subsequent 130 years of manufacturing of Husqvarna Viking Sewing Machines in Sweden. We were fortunate enough to have two trips to the facility in Sweden to see the changes that had taken place in the process of manufacturing the machines. Now we as a part of the Husqvarna Viking sewing community are in the 140th Anniversary celebrations of the manufacturing of these great sewing machines. We invite you to go to the Husqvarna Viking website to enjoy the video presentations about the time line of the innovations that HV has led in the history of the company. You will hear from former Presidents and CEO's and managers of the company. Bobby and I have known these people and enjoyed conversations with them across the years about the features of the machines and the business of selling these wonderful machines. When you listen to Lil Nylen, the former director of the Sewing Academy in Huskvarna, notice how confident and up-to-the-minute she is. What a lady! She is so smart about all kinds of sewing and embroidery operations.

We consider the years of learning and fun as enhancements to our lives and experiences. Explore the current links on www.husqvarnaviking.com to see how avant-garde they have been for years. That's why we place our loyalty with Husqvarna Viking.
