New Sapphire sports sensory sewing

The new Sapphire™ 870 Quilt sewing machine offers exclusive features including:

• The Selected Thread Cutter which automatically cuts the thread at the touch of a button.
  
• The Self-Adjusting Automatic Tension and Bobbin Low Sensor which features enhance ease of use in quilting.
  
• The Start/Stop Button which lets sewers quilt and piece without having to rely on the foot control.
  
• One of the longest extended sewing surfaces and longest free arm in the industry between the machine side and the needle-extended to nearly ten inches (250mm) - providing more sewing and fabric space.
  
• Built-in creativity: More stitches (156 + 7 buttonholes) with special stitch features for quilters including stitch positioning for decorative stitches, preprogrammed satin stitch and blanket stitch for perfect appliqué, ¼” piecing stitch, hand look quilting stitch, and patch stitches.
  
• Personalisation: Choose from 5 different fonts to programme letters and numbers into 20 different memories to label and date your quilt.

The Husqvarna Viking® Sapphire range of sewing machines each offer a set of features that deliver maximum capability to take sewers to the next level:

• The Exclusive Sensor System™ automatically lowers the presser foot when you start to sew. Sensor Foot Pressure automatically senses the fabric thickness — resulting in a perfect even-feed of any fabric and/or batting. The Sensor Foot Pivot position raises the foot to just the right height for adjusting a project or turning a corner.
  
• With the touch of a button the exclusive Sewing Advisor™ feature automatically selects the best stitch and setting for the type and weight of fabric being sewn, and recommends the presser foot, needle size and more for successful sewing.
  
• The LCD GraphicDisplay shows the chosen stitch in actual size before it is sewn, along with other important sewing information that sets up sewers for success.
  
• The Exclusive Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot repeats the selected length of perfectly balanced buttonholes by sewing both sides of the buttonhole in the same direction.
  
• Dual lights illuminate the needle and extended sewing surface to eliminate eye strain and make sewing easier.
