Husqvarna Viking is giving away an Emerald 116

January 2, 2014 by Anne Weaver 12 Comments

I don’t watch football, but I hear that there was a sewing machine on the sidelines of this year’s Iron Bowl. An Emerald 116 by Husqvarna Viking. It came through in a pinch and made some emergency repairs to a player’s jersey. And it’s headed to the BCS National Championship on January 6.

To celebrate, Husqvarna Viking is giving away an Emerald 116 in their Countdown to Kickoff: HUSQVARNA VIKING® Giveaway.

To enter, go to Husqvarna Viking USA’s Facebook page and answer this question: “What is the most unusual place or project you have sewn with your machine?” Husqvarna Viking USA will select one comment at random on game day as the winner.

I made a replacement top for a pop up camping trailer. This was many years ago when I was a teenager. It was a very heavy project to work on with a domestic sewing machine.

I once took my sewing machine on a cross country road trip to visit family in another state. I thought I might need it to make something, and I did. I would take it camping if I could plug it into a tree.

The most unusual thing I’ve made is probably a band/cover for magnets that we used on my daughter that had migranes. The magnets needed to be held on her head so I made a band they would fit in that had a velcro closure. She used this band for several years.

Made a teddy bear in 1/2 hour for my mom while she was in home hospice to keep her from pulling on her oxygen hose, it worked! It kept her otherwise occupied and kept her busy until she passed away. TGFTB. (Thank God for Teddy Bears!)

I went to visit my daughter in Wyoming who just moved her family into a new home. I took my very old 1985 Viking with me. We made baby blankets for the new baby of course, and curtains for the new house!!!!!

I live in Tn and I took my sewing machine to my daughters house in Arkansas so I could make a table cloth for a round table for her living room.
