Included Accessories
Every machine comes packaged with a comprehensive selection of official HUSQVARNA VIKING presser feet and studio tools:
How does the Sewing Guide Reference Chart work on the Emerald 116? The pull-out card located at the base of the machine serves as a quick cheat-sheet. Simply locate your fabric weight and desired sewing technique on the chart, and it will show you the recommended presser foot, stitch length, stitch width, and thread tension settings to use.
Can I sew stretchy knit fabrics on this machine without popping threads? Yes. The Emerald 116 includes dedicated stretch stitches that expand along with elastic knit fabrics. Additionally, you can adjust the manual presser foot pressure dial so the foot doesn't stretch or wave your knit fabric while it passes through the feed dogs.
Is it easy to sew free-motion embroidery or stippling on the Emerald 116? Absolutely. You can disengage the feed dogs using the drop-feed switch on the back of the free arm, attach a darning or free-motion foot, and guide your fabric in any direction for custom stippling and thread painting.
