VIKING® Sewing Gallery Launches New Classes Through Select JOANN Locations

SVP Worldwide—parent company of leading sewing brand HUSQVARNA® VIKING®—today announced the launch of new VIKING® Sewing Gallery (VSG) classes to be offered at VSG stores within select JOANN locations. A free-of-charge Open House event will be held monthly, alongside classes for new owners—also complementary—and continued-education courses. The classes are designed to empower the next generation of sewists and to be as accessible and accommodating as possible for varying customer needs.

The new Open House will be held on the second weekend of each month from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, beginning January 11 through 12. It is offered free of charge and allows anyone to learn more about sewing and crafting through a fun, seasonally-themed project. First-time HUSQVARNA® VIKING® buyers can also take advantage of complimentary new-owner classes that teach them about their machine, while continued-education classes offer ongoing instruction to all interested sewists.

“We want our customers to get the most out of their machines,” said Maureen Quirk, President of North America at SVP Worldwide. “That’s why VIKING® Sewing Gallery is excited to equip sewists with the knowledge and skills they need to realize their creative visions and have fun along the way. We have worked hard to make our classes as accommodating and accessible as possible, and we cannot wait to pour back into our incredible sewing community.”

All classes will take place at VSG stores within select JOANN locations and will be taught by store managers. VSG allows customers to locate and sign up for classes through a simple ZIP-code search, ensuring that everyone has easy access to the services offered. Sewists that are looking to participate in the monthly Open House, attend a new owner’s class, or take a continued-education course can find times and nearby locations via www.vikingsewinggallery.com.
