Viking Husqvarna Sewing and Embroidery Machines
"Keeping the world sewing"
Husqvarna Viking sewing machines have a long reputation for durability and innovation. Today, they are part of the SVP Worldwide group (Singer, Viking, Pfaff), which consolidated these three iconic brands under one corporation. While modern Vikings share some design similarities with their SVP siblings, the older all-metal Viking machines from the 1960s–1980s (like the 2000 series and 6000 series) remain some of the most reliable machines ever built — when properly serviced and maintained.
Does Precision Sewing Repair service Viking industrial machines?
No, I focus exclusively on home-use Viking/Husqvarna sewing and embroidery machines, including both modern computerized models and vintage classics.
Why do so many shops say older Viking machines are “non-repairable”?
Large chain stores often mark older Vikings as “No Repair” because they either lack the training or simply don’t want to spend the time it takes to restore them. These machines are often pushed aside so the shop can sell you something new instead. I specialize in reviving older Vikings like the 2000 and 6570 series — machines built with metal chassis that, once restored, can outlast many new models.
My Viking stitch selector knob feels stuck. Should I force it?
Absolutely not. Many of these machines were built with pot metal components in the selector assemblies. Over time, lack of lubrication causes them to bind, and forcing the knob can easily crack or break these parts. If your stitch selector feels tight or frozen, it needs professional cleaning and careful restoration — not brute force.
How often should a Viking sewing machine be serviced?
-
Heavy daily use: every 6 months.
-
Regular use: yearly.
-
Light use: 18–24 months.
For older mechanical Vikings, even if they’re not in use, periodic service helps prevent seized parts and protects fragile components.
Are Viking parts still available?
For most modern Vikings, parts are readily available. For older models, certain parts (especially cosmetic ones) can be harder to find — but I have resources to track down replacements, or in many cases, restore the original part to working condition.
What sets Viking sewing machines apart?
Viking/Husqvarna has always emphasized precision engineering and smooth operation. Their older models are built on solid metal frames that, with the right care, will keep sewing reliably for decades. Many sewists say these older machines still outperform modern plastic-bodied machines.
💡 Tech Tip from Your Technician:
If you own an older Viking and it feels “frozen” or stiff, resist the urge to turn the knobs harder. This is the fastest way to break brittle pot metal parts. A professional restoration will protect these delicate components and keep your Viking sewing beautifully for years to come.
