Viking Designer Quartz 29 vs Husqvarna Viking Designer Epic 3

The Epic 3 is the machine for serious embroiderers: its 460x450mm field, free-arm embroidery, magnetic hoop and design projection are in a different class from the Quartz 29. The Quartz 29 is the better fit for most people who sew more than they embroider, with a 7-inch touchscreen, WiFi and 250 stitches in a lighter 13 kg body. Both are Husqvarna Viking machines with CREATIVATE connectivity, but the Epic 3 is a larger, heavier, more capable machine and owners of the Epic line praise its stitch quality and quiet embroidery unit.

• Choose the Viking Designer Quartz 29 if you want one machine for everyday sewing and moderate embroidery, with a touchscreen, WiFi and a 170x100mm hoop that fits on a normal table.
• Choose the Husqvarna Viking Epic 3 if embroidery is the main job and you need a large field, free-arm hooping and projection to place designs quickly.
