Husqvarna 670 Opal Sewing Machine Review
Have you ever sewn on a Husqvarna sewing machine?
If not, you’re missing out on a smooth-running and well-built sewing machine for an excellent price. The Husqvarna brand has been around since the late 19th century, their beginnings being from Sweden. They’re one of the oldest sewing machine brands around, and have been of fantastic quality since their beginning. They’re sturdy machines that have features you’d find on luxury machines, but for a bargain! If you’re looking for a moderately sized machine on a budget, then the Husquvarna Opal 670 Sewing Machine is one you’re going to want to consider!
The Husqvarna Opal 670 Sewing Machine is the perfect machine for hobby sewists. Whether you’re making quilts most of the time or taking a whack at sewing yourself garments, this machine is perfect for those with beginning or intermediate sewing skills. Even advanced sewist will love this machine, if they’re looking for a deal! The relatively low price, compared to machines of its caliber, just makes it that much more accessible to those who might want an advanced machine but aren’t able to commit to a luxury brand.
This sewing machine is computerised, so you know that you’ll have a plethora of stitches to choose from and can easily customise them with just the touch of a button and the screen. Computerised sewing machines are able to be programmed to know more than just a few basic stitches and are fantastic machines for crafters who like to have the flexibility to sew more than just a few types of stitches. You’ll also find that the screen on this machine is well-lit and easy to understand and accepts the touch of a finger or stylus easily and accurately. It tells you which presser foot is appropriate for the stitch you’ve chosen as well as all of the details you need to continue, including stitch length and width.
Speaking of the plethora of stitches, you’ll find that the Opal 670 has 557 stitches programmed in. That includes 7 automatic 1-step buttonholes and 4 different fonts! And you can customize your stitch widths up to 7mm with this machine. You’ll be able to create amazing projects that include quilts, garments, and home décor with all of the different options this machine offers!
You’ll love the easy-to-use needle threader that’s built into this machine. It’s smooth and easy to see, and there’s no need to stress your fingers out trying to get that thread through the needle’s eye. This feature is perfect for anyone who struggles with threading, be it shaky hands or arthritis or anything else that affects the hands. It makes every sewist's life just a bit easier!
The Opal 670 also comes with a thread cutter. Thread cutters have really only been built into luxury sewing machines until now. We love this feature because it will save you time and money in the long run, cutting your threads closer to the fabric instead of having to pull it away, creating long tails of thread that can’t be used on your next seam. You won’t have to wind your bobbins as often and you’ll be saving a lot of thread!
Have you ever used a knee lift with your sewing machine? Many sewing machines don’t have the ability to plug in a knee lift, but the Opal 670 does! It allows you to lift the presser foot hands-free, with just a movement of your knee against the lever that comes down underneath your sewing table. This feature allows you to keep your hands on your project in order to hold layers together or even to pivot while binding a quilt! It’s a feature we think more sewists would love if they tried it out, and we’d love for you to try it out on the Husqvarna Opal 670 sewing machine!
The amount of working space the Husqvarna Opal 670 has is amazing, too! You’ll find that there are 8 whole inches to the right of the needle. You’ll be able to run quilts, backings, garments of all sizes, and home décor projects through it easily and with room to spare.
