Viking Designer Sapphire 85: Connected Sewing and Embroidery
The Viking Designer Sapphire 85 combines sewing, embroidery, and quilting with WiFi connectivity, an 8" color touch screen, and 680 built-in stitches. The mySewnet integration and JoyOS ADVISOR provide on-screen tutorials and access to a growing embroidery design library.

mySewnet Enabled Connectivity
Connect wirelessly via WiFi to transfer designs, receive software updates, and access the mySewnet Library of embroidery designs. Free apps including MySewMonitor and QuickDesign let you monitor stitching progress and create custom designs from your mobile device.

JoyOS ADVISOR System
The JoyOS ADVISOR provides interactive tutorials directly on the touch screen. Learn stitch techniques, embroidery basics, and advanced features through step-by-step guidance. Built-in resources include a Stabilizer Guide, Quick Start Guide, and Accessory Guide for reference while you work.

Large 8" Color Touch Screen
Navigate settings and designs on the 8" capacitive touch screen with 1024x600 resolution. Multi-touch gestures like swipe, pinch, and zoom make editing and positioning intuitive. The smart toolbox provides quick access to frequently used editing tools.

deLuxe Stitch System
The deLuxe Stitch System delivers consistent stitch quality across all fabric types and thread varieties with minimal adjustment. Works especially well with metallic threads and specialty threads that typically require extra tension tweaking on other machines.

Exclusive Sensor System
The Exclusive Sensor System automatically detects fabric thickness and adjusts feeding pressure accordingly. This ensures even fabric feed when stitching through delicate silks or heavy denim, reducing the need for manual pressure adjustments.

680 Built-In Stitches
Choose from 680 stitches including utility, decorative, and exclusive techniques like Pop-Up Stitches, Sequin Stitches, and Appliqué Stitches. The variety covers everything from basic construction to creative embellishment on garments, quilts, and home decor projects.
The Viking Designer Sapphire 85 suits sewists ready to expand into embroidery or experienced embroiderers looking for connected features and on-screen guidance. Explore the full Viking collection to find the right match for your creative goals.
