Full sewing capability with large-format embroidery
The Designer Topaz 50 is designed for sewists who want to add professional-looking embroidery without giving up the features of a capable premium sewing machine. Remove the embroidery unit for dressmaking, quilting and general sewing, then attach it when you are ready to personalise your next project.

Navigate sewing, embroidery and editing functions on a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen. Designs appear in colour, while Quick Help explains selected icons and functions directly on screen.

Built-in design editing
Combine, rotate, scale and mirror compatible designs directly on the machine. Completed combinations can be saved to machine memory or a USB embroidery stick.
04
Basic Design Positioning
Position a selected point in the design at a precise point on the fabric. This assists with placement, continuous embroidery and accurately joining larger design arrangements.

Exclusive Sensor System
Sensor Foot Pressure adapts to fabric thickness for even feeding, while Sensor Foot Pivot raises the foot slightly when the needle is down for easy turning, appliqué and quilting.
06
Exclusive Sewing Advisor
Select the fabric type and sewing technique, and the machine recommends or sets the stitch, width, length, tension, speed, presser-foot pressure, foot and needle information.
Embroidery capability
Personalise, combine and position your designs
The Topaz 50 provides the essential editing and placement tools required to move beyond individual motifs and create more considered embroidery layouts.

Start with a varied collection of decorative, floral, children’s and
project-focused embroidery designs.

completed combination for future use.
USB design transfer
Transfer compatible embroidery designs using a USB embroidery stick
and organise files using the on-screen My Files area.
Thread monitoring
Top- and bobbin-thread sensors alert you if the upper thread breaks or
the bobbin thread is becoming low.

Husqvarna Viking Designer Topaz 50 FAQ
Is the Topaz 50 both a sewing and embroidery machine?
Yes. Attach the embroidery unit for machine embroidery or remove it to use the Topaz 50 as a spacious computerised sewing and quilting machine.
What is the maximum embroidery area?
The maximum embroidery area is 360 × 200mm when using the compatible Designer Royal Hoop. This hoop is normally included with the machine, but current package contents should be confirmed before purchase.
How many embroidery designs are built into the machine?
The Topaz 50 includes 150 embroidery designs and two embroidery fonts, with each embroidery font available in three sizes.
Can I import additional embroidery designs?
Yes. Compatible embroidery files can be transferred using a USB embroidery stick. Check file-format and current software compatibility before purchasing or downloading third-party designs.
Can embroidery designs be edited on the Topaz 50?
Yes. Compatible designs can be combined, rotated, scaled and mirrored on the colour touchscreen. Completed combinations can be saved to the machine or a USB embroidery stick.
What is Basic Design Positioning?
Basic Design Positioning lets you match a selected point in the embroidery design with a chosen position on the fabric. It assists with accurate placement and joining larger or continuous embroideries.
Does the Topaz 50 automatically cut jump stitches?
Yes. Automatic Jump Stitch Trim cuts selected jump stitches during embroidery and draws the thread tails to the underside, reducing manual trimming after stitching.
What does the Exclusive Sensor System do?
It senses fabric thickness and automatically adapts presser-foot pressure and lift. Sensor Foot Pivot also raises the foot slightly when you stop with the needle down, helping with turning, appliqué and quilting.
Is the Topaz 50 suitable for quilting?
Yes. It offers approximately 250mm of sewing space, needle stop up/down, Sensor Foot Pivot and two free-motion modes. It can also embroider quilt blocks, labels and decorative quilting designs.
Does it have automatic thread tension and cutting?
Yes. The machine has electronic self-adjusting thread tension and an automatic cutter for the upper and bobbin threads. It also monitors the upper and bobbin thread during sewing and embroidery.
Is the Topaz 50 suitable for someone new to embroidery?
It can be a good choice for an ambitious beginner because the touchscreen, Quick Help, Sewing Advisor and Sensor System provide considerable guidance. New owners should still allow time to learn stabiliser selection, hooping, thread choices and design placement.
Does Direct Sewing provide support after purchase?
Yes. Direct Sewing provides local product guidance, genuine New Zealand warranty support and ongoing servicing through its Henderson showroom and technical workshop. Nationwide delivery is also available.
