The Husqvarna Viking Onyx 15 is a mechanical sewing machine with 23 built-in stitches covering utility, decorative and stretch work. It is aimed at quilters and beginners who want a sturdy motor for layered projects and simple dial controls rather than a computerized interface. Its adjustable speed and bright LED work light are the features that set it apart from basic mechanical machines. Owners rate it highly, though the mechanical setup means no stitch memory or automatic features.

The Husqvarna Viking Onyx 15 is a mechanical sewing machine with 23 built-in utility, decorative and stretch stitches. The stitches range from zigzag patterns to scalloped edges. A stitch chart on the bottom part of the machine shows the presser foot, stitch width, stitch length and tension setting for each stitch.
Stitches are chosen with a dial on the face of the machine. A second dial on the front adjusts stitch length, from short stitches for delicate fabrics to longer ones for basting or topstitching. Stitch width is fixed. The presser foot pressure is adjustable, so the machine can be set for lightweight fabrics like silk or heavier ones like denim or canvas.
The built-in needle threader works by pressing the lever on the side of the needle. The top drop-in bobbin is loaded from above under a clear cover, so the thread is visible. LED lighting illuminates the sewing area without shadows. The machine has a speed adjustment and is described for quilting and general sewing.
