Husqvarna Designer Topaz

Good value for money – The 25 is in the middle of the Topaz range. It does not have the huge hoops like the 30;40 or 50 but does have a 6x10” hoop which is the most popular anyway. Sews and embroiders beautifully. If you want a machine for general sewing with the benefit of a hoop for an occasional embroidery, then this is the model to have. The downside is that it is in monotone only, no colours at all, not even of your chosen thread colours. This can make it hard knowing your colours as it doesn’t have many thread manufacturer colours. The menu is bit hard to get used to at first. It does have needle up/down and auto thread cutting, combined with the quilters 1/4” stitch making it a great machine for patchwork piecing. It does not come with many feet but does have the most important feet. The only other foot that would be a benefit would be the walking foot. I have found that nearly all the feet and accessories from other Husqvarnas also fit this model, so if you have another Husqvarna, check your items first before buying one particularly for this model. All in all I would rate this machine 9 out of 10. I hope to sew with it for many years to come.
