Details
Are you an embroidery fanatic or want to start a home embroidery business? Then this may be for you! The Happy Voyager is a 12-needle, single-head embroidery machine that's at home in craft & sewing rooms just as much as in offices or production shops. This machine is on consignment, not in my possession (although I took the photographs). Although I am not personally familiar with it, I should be able to get answers for any questions. Happy is affiliated with Bernina, and Happy embroidery machines are sold by Bernina dealers. This has been tested and works fine, and the first owner had no problems with it but traded it in on a sewing/embroidery machine. She purchased it new approximately three years ago (the manuals are dated 2007). This particular machine does not keep track of the number of hours it has been used, but the firmware can be updated so it does.(Updates can be downloaded on the Happy web site.)
This comes with an optional rolling Toyota embroidery stand and seven hoops (only two come standard with the machine). With everything that it with it, this is well over a $10,000 value! In addition, there are several manuals and workbooks, CDs, and accessories (see photos).
