I get alot of search hits for the above keywords, and after my review here I scanned and sent my manual to a couple of people, as it’s non existent on the interwebs. I’m a bit reluctant to post it on the sidebar- not sure about copyright issues, but if you’re after a copy leave me a comment and I’ll email it to you download it directly using the link below.
Happy stitching!!
ETA I have set up a page for you to download this directly. Please see my new blog for details.

Hey Jess!
Glad you made it to Aukland and are faring well! I got your blog link off Millie’s 😀
Your blog & photos are very pretty as is that sewing machine. I bid on one similar to in on trademe, but it wasn’t meant to be. Maybe I’ll start looking again!
xo,

Hi! I love your blog too. It was really fun looking back through it. When I got to the photo of your gorgeous dog about to eat the dandelion I just couldn’t stop laughing. Those baby blankets are beautiful.
I used to live in NZ, in Wellington. My husband is from Hamilton. It is amazing looking at your photos from around the country, makes me miss it.
I would love a copy of your husqy manual, thanks so much for the offer. I have since bought a repro but was disappointed to find it had the logo of the company who printed it across every page, to the point that it isn’t that easy to read. I know someone else that would love a copy too, http://thisisemilykate.blogspot.com/, and who I’m sure would love your blog. I will pass on the link, if that’s ok
Great to meet you.
x michelle
Ooooh, yes I would love a copy! How lovely of your to offer it up to the interwebs! :o)
Glad to have found your lovely crafty blog too! You take such gorgeous photos, I’m drooling over those strawbs!
If you can send a copy of the manual, I’d love one! I am waiting on my 21A to arrive and can’t wait to try it out.
Thanks so much for posting info about the machine — it really helps.
Hello! I just got a Viking Husqvarna Type 21 and would love to know how to properly care for it. It is hard to find a lot of info online and i would appreciate a copy of the manual : )
Thank You,
Leah
I ran across your site via Tiny Happy. I came across my dear old lady several months ago in a yard sale. I didn’t buy her immediately, wondering what hubby would say, but I coudn’t resist, so went back and bought her. You do not come across old Husqvarna’s that much in the States.
If you could please e-mail the manual to me that would be great, as I have looked and cannot find one.
Christy
Greetings Dear Jess,
Thank you for your blog – not an easy thing to keep updated!
I am watching Viking type 21 on ebay right now, considering to buy it, can you be so kind and tell me if it’s quiet or loud machine when it operates? And if you know what is the fair price for it. Thank you so very much, happy new year!! Liza
Hello,my name is Analia and I’m from Argentina. I bought the same sewing machine. If you look my blogspot,you will see a picture of my sewing machine. I don’t have the manual. I would like you send me a copy of yours, please.

Thank you for the copy of the manual! I have spent way too much time looking for it and am glad to finally have a copy! Thank you, Anna
hi,
nice of you to offer a manual. i would love a copy. i got a 21A from a friend who was moving, and today when i set it up i couldn’t get it to start. i don’t know if the machine is broken (first time i’ve tried to use it) or if there is some magic switch i’m missing.

Hello! Love your site. Found it by searching for this Husqvarna, which i just bought for my soon-to-be-9 year old stepdaughter, who i have been sewing with on my 1963 Kenmore. I’d love a copy of the manual, as I’m trying to figure it out well before her birthday next week. Thanks for making it available!
Susanna
I’d like a manual for your 21a.

Thank you very much.

Hello!
Me and my wife recently bought similar Husqvarna Automatic sewingmachine as you have but there was no owners manual included.We absolutely love this machine because its old and it is piece of our history.It would be very nice if you could send us a copy of the owners manual.
Best regards,

I have just inherited a Viking Husqvarna model # 19 E with no manual and saw your site and that you are willing to share yours?! This machine looks just like the one that is on your site…. I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks ahead, Ilse
Hi!
I actually read your review before I purchased the machine on craigslist. May I please have a copy of the manual? Also, I’m not sure which model it is exactly (19,19e,21,21a,etc.etc.), so I was also wondering if you knew the difference between the two.
Thank you so much,
Catherine
Hi there! Oh you are heaven sent to offer the manual. I’ve searched high and low for the manual and have had no luck. Can you please send it to me. You’re truly the best. Thanks again!
I’d too like a copy of your manual. I picked up the machine and hope it works but really can’t find out much on it.
Thanks much for nay help!

I would appreciate a copy of the manual for the Viking 21. Thanks.
I would love to look at the manual if you don’t mind sending it to me?
Thanks!!!
Hi. We have Husqvarna Automatic we got a while a ago. Amazing machine, works nicely and sews both lightweight and heavyweight fabrics much better than newer machines. It would be really nice to have a manual for it.
Thank you for your effort on supporting old sewing machines – way too often people throw these away, when they could take them for repair, and have nice machine for few more decades.
Hello! I just got my Husqvarna Automatic, but I don have a manual for that. So I would be very pleased, if you could send me a copy of yours. Thanks!
I just found a model-21 in a thrift store. Obviously very underused but well cared for. Still in the original suitcase. Seems to run well and smoothe. I’d be delighted if you would kindly send a manual my way. Obviously this machine has a big following. I didn’t know that at first but when I saw it I just knew it was a really well built and functional machine. I have a very old White Rotary that is like wise a real super fine machine. Your generous offer is apprecited.
thank you, Mike, Southern Oregon
Hi Jess,
Just came across your site when I was looking for info abt Lake Daniels, we’ll take our kids up there over Easter. I love all the stuff you’re into! I’ve got a Husquvarna too, looks identical to yours too, but it has no manual. So I’d be really delighted if you could send me a copy.
Cheers, Viv

Hi!
My name is Roberto and I’m from Sweden.
I just found an old Husqvarna CI 21 but in the case there was only the manual for the Husqvarna 20. Mosst of it is the same as for the 21 but some things arn’t. I would love to have a copy!
Thanks so much!
Best regards,
Roberto
Roberto here again.
Just out of curiosity, is this a good sewing machine? How does it stand against modern machines?
Thank you!
I don’t know much about sewing, but I want to learn.
/Roberto
Probably the best sewing machine ever. Better than the Pfaff 260 and a more precise sewing experience than most of the modern machines, leather is no problem, too.
I was given this sewing machine and it has been packed away for years. I would love a copy of the manual as I am not sure of all the capabilities. I am having trouble getting the bobbin to stay in and I know there is something that I am doing wrong. Please help
Tammy
Pinch the bobbin holder (this holds the bobbin in place) inward as you insert the holder into the machine. It should just click in if you have the
armature straight up as you insert it. Coleen in Maryville, Tn.

I just stumbled upon your blog by searching for the manual for this exact sewing machine, one I also inherited from my mother and am eager to start using. If you have a free moment, could you email me a copy of the manual too?
I would appreciate it very much!!!
thanks, kirsten.
Hej from Sweden,
I have sort of inherited this machine from my husband’s side of the family. After having to leave behind my Sears Kenmore Zig Zag that I had since I was 14, I am at a loss with this beautiful machine. There is of course, NO manual. Can you help. I really need to know how this machine operates and as you have said, it can not be found on line.
Thanks if you can send it to me. PS. Is it in english???
Karyn
I have the machine you have a picture of. I cannot get the thread to stay in or how to get it to function without making knots. I have noooo idea how to do this!
You mentioned you have a manual, can you mail it to me? I’ll be forever grateful!
Hello from Oregon….have you gotten a answer to your knotting question?? if not, try a good brand of thread..Mettler and good needles…Schmedtz 80/12 sharp for general sewing. Many times that is the problem.
I found for $10 a essentially new 21E at the thrift shop. It has about 12 feet, 7 bobbins, 3 cams, the manual and this gizmo that you pick the stitch you want, dial the window to that selected stitch and in the window it shows which cam to put in and how to set the stitch length and width….LOVE IT. I was soooo thrilled!!! very quiet and heavy as a boat anchor.
It appears to have never been used….not pin scratches or scissors nicks. LUCKY ME!!!!
Hello! We just got an old Husqvarna Automatic from a garage sale, but without a manual. Since we don`t really know how to work it, we would really appreciate it if you could send us a copy of the manual.

I am presently living in India,and am trying to help a young woman to start earning a living as a tailor. She has been given a Husqvarna CI 21 by a group from Sweden, but the manual is in Swedish. If you could send me a copy of your manual (I assume it is in English) that would be a great help to us. Thanks so much.

Hi, I have a Husqvarna 21e sewing mashine with no manual. Can you mail me yours? meiken@meikens.dk
Thanks 😉
Kristina…….. Look below on TineCharlot note…the website she has posted is for the free download for a 21A Viking machine. It is the same manual I have for my 21E machine.
Enjoy…..
:o)
Many thanks Jessicah, for your generous act of making the manual available at: http://sites.google.com/site/spinningayarndocuments/Home
I was just given the Viking Husquarna Type 19E without it’s manual and sewing table sleeve. I would really appreciate it, if you could email me a copy!
Thank you,
Patsy May
Patsy, click on the site above your posting from TineCharlot.
This is the same manual that I have for my 21E, so will probably work for your 19E or close enough.
Hi there,
Just downloaded the manual, so many thanks for putting that up for everyone!
I am trying to get a friends Viking 21 in order, but it is missing a few things… Bobbin case, bobbins, and also has no feet. Does anyone here know of somewhere online or in Australia to find any of these??
I have had a look around, but no luck so far…
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
V
Hi Violet,
I had good sucess contacting a local sewing machine shop which stocks the newer range of Husqvarna machines. Let me know if you don’t have any luck in Australia and I will send the contact details of the shop I contacted- he was very helpful and happy to send out parts.
Good Luck! Jessicah
Try ebay, bobbins, case and all pressure feet are available at low prices. The green 50’s-60’s machines are better than the low priced modern ones.
yay! This is the closest thing I could find to my 21E. Thanks so much.
Amazing! I expected nobody would have info on this machine–I inherited it from my mother, who got it when I was in high school in 1953. But I Googled “Viking 21” and Bingo! Like many others, I need a manual. There are some things my mother didn’t tell me…
Hi,
I found one of these machines sitting in its case by the side of the road on garbage day. Arghhh. Immediately snapped it up. I need to spend more quality time with it. I have 15 machines and am totally smitten with all of them (its surely not healthy 🙂 ).
It came with the foot control but no manual so I’ve just downloaded it. Now this machine and I can get better acquainted.
Thanks and love the blog.
lol . I have a collection of nine machines myself !!!
I just bought the 19e for 50 on ebay ..I wonder myself if my fascination is unhealthy ! 🙂
Hello
I found that you have a manual for the Husqvarna 21 automatic and that made me so happy! i have lost mine somewhere and it is very annoying!.
So pleaseeee…if you have it in like pdf or so, I am so glad if you are able to mail me one copy. 🙂
thansk very very much

hello all,
my mother gave me a husqvarna 21E few months ago and is passionate about the things I could do with it, I have no accessories, but still keep the bag and I love that I can carry it everywhere.
I wonder where I can find a manual or feet to make other points.
a hug for everyone from Asuncion, Paraguay.
Hej!
I am in Sweden and just acquired this lovely machine. Is there anyway I could get the manual as well?
Thanks!
Kristen
I purchased a 19E from an estate sale because it was a pretty color! (I know, the wrong reason to buy a sewing machine!!) I can really use a copy of your manual. Are you still able to send one? I love your pics, too! Thanks, Mo’s mom.
Thx a lot!
Could have guessed someone posted a manual. Husqvarna being Swedish I didn’t expect to find it in English. Kudos to you for saving the day.
Want to thank you for the manual download, very nice Connie bought mine, can be seen here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220645151710&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123 and if you have any extra accessories for the Viking 21A please let me or her know. Or any good place to get any. Really appreciate the blogs and people here. If you ever need something please let me know I have a wealth of storage units full of things!
Randy in Kewaunee WI
I’ve just bought the 21A and the case included a copy of the manual with the foldout covers plus an additional book for the Husqvana Automatics “50 Nice Gifts”.
I, too, have recently acquired a 19E and would be grateful for a copy of the manual, as I’m having all sorts of problems with the upper thread tension – no matter what I try it always too tight (I’m wondering if there’s a sticking issue?)
Anyhoo – hopefully you’ll get this as your original post was ages ago!
Hope you can help!
Suzie
je recherche la notice de cette machine écrite en français existe t-elle ? merci
I just bought a lovely old Husqvarna Zigzag 19E at an auction for $50 and am so excited to begin using it. It looks identical to yours, but no manual came with it and I am unsure about how to adjust the zigzag and stitch lengths. I don’t want to mess it up. If you could email me a copy of the manual I would be so grateful. Thank you for sharing it with all of the devotees of this fine machine!
Thank you so much for posting your Husqvarna manual, I just picked up a 19E with German manual and needed an English version, this will do just fine!
Hello from Norway!
My mother had a similar sewing machine which I used when I was a little boy. Now I have got one myself, but I have no manual. I would be grateful if you could send a copy by email.
I can see that you have got a lot of new friends!
Thank you thank you thank you! It’s great to get the manual for this treasure!
-Greetings from Iceland
Just found your blog, it’s fun to see and read what others say about the machine. I have my mother’s 21 on which she made all my clothes, hers and my dad’s and after a tuneup,today it is sewing just as great as when it was new. I learned to sew on it by sewing quilt blocks together.
Oops!! Forgot to request a copy of the manual, would be greatly appreciated since the original was water damaged some time ago.
Hi there Jessicah,
I recently purchased one of these machines at a market and is yet to be delivered but it does not come with a manual of any sort so it would be fantastic if you would be so kind to email me a copy 🙂

Thank you
Howdy, just found your post and would appreciate a copy of the manual you have graciously offered. I am unemployed and in the throw$ of creating Christma$ present$, so finding a *free* manual to troubleshoot my apparently “not used often enough” viking 21 is key to getting it to work as it should.

Hi. I have just been given my father’s Husqvarna 21 sewing machine he bought in the late 1950s in Sweden. He sadly passed away 10 years ago and although I understand a little Danish (he was from Denmark), the Swedish instruction manual is of no sense to me. Please could I trouble you to email me a copy in English? Many thanks in advance, Jan Simonsen (Mr)

Within the post you commented on, there should be a link to where you can find a downloadable copy of the manual!
Thanks, Jessicah
Hi Jessicah,
Thank you so much for making this manual available. I just inherited this machine from my Grandma, and I was going to just keep it as a cool sculpture, but now I can actually learn to use it! Thanks again for your generosity.

Hi Jessicah,
Thanks for making the manual available. Last week I was given a Viking 21a from a friend who knew I have been looking for one for a long time. Except for the extension table (it came in a cabinet) your manual has made it complete.
I know I will enjoy using this machine.
Thanks!

Hi Jessica,
I have picked one of these machines up at a garage sale. Seems to run well after being given a clean and lube .. I would like to get a copy of the manual for this – thanks
Cheers,
Dana
Hi
Anyone who’s got this manual in swedish. Already got it in english but swedish would just be so great.
Love E
Hi there,
If you are up to it I could also use a copy of the 21A manual. I have a bit more to learn about the machine and with a little TLC it should last another 50 years. Do you know where I could find the schematics to the machine to ID spare parts if needed?
Thanks and best regards,
Nels

You can find a lot of sites wanting to charge for the “Technical Briefing” or you can download for free from this guy’s blog. My mom has the 21 and I have the 21e and this covers both machines and more. I printed it out on a laser printer and put it in a binder. Very easy to read and has schematics too.
I don’t think I explained my first post very well. This is a link to a blog with a pdf download for the technical service manual covering several Viking sewing machines including the class 21 (called “20” in the Technical Briefing). It is 181 pages and has everything you need to know to recalibrate, refurbish or rebuild your machine. I got a used Viking Husqvarna 21e with many problems and now it sews perfectly!

Many thanks,

Thanks, Jessicah
Hello Jess,
I just got my new, old Husqvarna and I would be very happy if you could send me the manual. I can’ t wait to try it out!
Thank you so much,
Monika
Hello, May I have a copy of the manual as well, please? Thank you.
another request for the manual. I have a model 21, but I think it will be similar enough to work.
Hello! I just got a Husqvarna Automatic Type 21E and would love to know how to properly care for it. It is hard to find a lot of info online and i would appreciate a copy of the manual.
Thank You,
Simona

Hi Bill,

Good luck!
Thanks, Jessicah
Thanks so much for posting this for download, I just got one from a fellow who is retiring from selling and repairing Husquavana sewing machines here in Northern Ontario, Canada, He is 87. Of course no manual, but now, we are off to the races. I am a potter and a bobbin lacemaker, I have all kinds of plans for applications that this old warhorse should be able to do.
Cheers and Thanks again, Birgit Wright

Hi,
I’ve just had my inherited CI 71 brought back to life, literally a couple of days ago. Do you know how to find out the year of manufacture? A photo is on my blog if you are interested 🙂
Mine sits in a wooden case and doesn’t have the free arm like your model.
Hey!
Your machine sounds interesting.
If you post your photo in the Facebook group they might be able to help you out.
Cheers,
Jessicah
Ooh, good idea! Thank you very much 🙂
Hello, I m now the proud owner of a ol’ husqvarna automatic, mine is a sad story, thought now with a happy ending ,. I find her at our local garbage dump , dusty ,dirty, full of cobwebs,and the case rusted …(wont ever close), but with all her pieces, except a mannul ,she runs beautifully, but I have no idea how to wind the bobbin, pls may i also have a copy of the mannal
Thank you very much!!! I couldn’t find such i Poland.-Ewa
Thank you for the copy of the manual! I have spent way too much time looking for it and am glad to finally have a copy! Thank you, Ibolya
Can you e-mail me the copy of the manual? I’m having some problems and hope to find the solution in the manual…
Thank you a million times over for making this manual available. My machine is a CI 21A so it is slightly different but close enough to use this manual. I found this at a garage sale for $20 and it runs like a dream after cleaning and oiling it. I absolutely love it. I only have the A cam so if anyone has access to the B & C cams – I know they are scarce – I would love to buy them. Any other feet would be good too. Thanks so much. You can email me @ samweb50@gmail.com with any info.
Heya just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but
I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.
Hi, I’m Justyna and i just bought this machine. I will be really grateful if you send me a copy of the manual.
Greetings from Poland.
I just downloaded the manual, but I cannot open it. I get a warning and ‘runtime error’ etc. I wonder if anyone else has had that problem?
Hello:) Im searching for a user manual for my Husqvarna Automatic 21 e. Do you kindly have one to share With me? Marianne 🙂
I would also be very grateful for a copy of the manual. I can´t get the zig-zag to work on mine. thanks/hanna
I am actually pleased to read this website posts which includes
plenty of useful facts, thanks for providing such data.
Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested
to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just
so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had
to share it with someone!
Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you
knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form?
I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having trouble finding one?
Thanks a lot!
Normally I do not learn article on blogs, however I would like to say that
this write-up very pressured me to check out and do
it! Your writing taste has been amazed me. Thank you, very
nice post.
I love what you guys tend to be up too. Such clever work and exposure!
Keep up the very good works guys I’ve added you guys to blogroll.
Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on
Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get
listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it
Heya! I understand this is kind of off-topic however
I had to ask. Does running a well-established blog such
as yours require a massive amount work? I’m completely new to writing a blog however I do write in my journal on a daily basis. I’d like
to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and feelings online.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
Thankyou!
Howdy! This post could not be written much better! Looking through this post reminds me of my previous roommate!
He continually kept talking about this. I will send this post to him.
Fairly certain he’s going to have a very good read. Thanks for sharing!
It’s the best time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I’ve read this post and
if I could I want to suggest you some interesting things or suggestions.
Maybe you could write next articles referring to this article.
I wish to read even more things about it!
Hi! I simply would like to offer you a huge thumbs
up for your great information you have right here on this
post. I will be returning to your blog for more soon.
There’s certainly a great deal to find out about this issue. I love all of the points you made.
Hi there, I enjoy reading all of your article post. I like to write
a little comment to support you.
how to download manual for Nordic Husqvarna viking style 21
anticipated thanks
I am regular visitor, how are you everybody?
This piece of writing posted at this site is in
fact pleasant.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like
yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m
not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly
appreciated. Kudos
I have an original manual for a 15E in, I think, either Swedish or German that came with a machine I bought recently in Palm Springs, CA. It was mostly frozen. Had to soak the insides with Liquid Wrench for several days to get it working. Sews beautifully. Very quiet. Came in a suitcase with all the accessories. This makes five vikings for me. I’ll put this one on eBay soon.
Hi there, my wife just got this sewing machine (husqvarna 21e) from her grandmother but we can’t get it to work. We are missing the manual and having it would really help to make it work. Please send ,me a copy, please! 🙂
Contact me at johnhagold@gmail.com and I will attach the Viking 21A manual that I got off the web. The two machines are almost the same.
Hi John:

mlpro@rcn.com
John can you send it to me as well? I just bought a Viking CL 21 A and need a manual and am having trouble accessing the one posted at the Spinning Yarn link. Rockester@charter.net Thank you!
Just bought this CL21a machine today at garage sale for $10 and tried to print your manual pdf out from the Google site. Sorry it would not print for me due to all the PGN images. Any tips? HELP! 😀
hi just bought a husqvarna 21a and am having problems with the bobbin not disengaging and so the machine will barely sew seems like it is stuck have been trying to trouble shoot no info anywhere was hoping you might have some insight thanks so much

Come on over and discuss with my website . Thanks
=)
Thank you so much for the manual! I am currently comparing Husqvarna sewing machines (the green ones) for a lady who will be returning to Africa and wants to set up a sewing business in her homeland – and she is learning to sew… I really appreciate being able to read the manual now!
I love my now complete Husqvarna Viking 21-A! Thank you for taking the time to help those of us out in sewing land to enjoy this well built machine to it’s fullest.
My brother recommended I might like this blog. He was
totally right. This post truly made my day.
You cann’t imagine just how much time I had spent for this info!
Thanks!
Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to
see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she
can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83
views. I know this is totally off topic
but I had to share it with someone!
Having read this I thought it was very informative.
I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this informative article together.
I once again find myself personally spending a
lot of time both reading and posting comments. But so
what, it was still worth it!
It’s very easy to find out any topic on net as compared to textbooks,
as I found this article at this website.
Thank you SO SO much for posting this! I was in a thight spot yester when I needed to use my dear Husqvarna to sew in some pants for a costumeparty(I was late as usual), but the manual was left at my grandma’s(and probably lost), and I was running out of time!
Again, thank you so much, you’re a lifesaver 😉

Hej from Sweden!
I am in need of a Operating Manual for a Husqvarna Viking Automatic Type 21 sewing machine. I got a manual but it was for 21A which is not my machine.
Oh if I could get one in English, I would be so happy.
Thank you.

Gabriel…
What i don’t realize is in truth how you’re no longer really much more well-favored than you might
be right now. You are very intelligent. You already know therefore significantly in relation to this
topic, made me in my opinion believe it from a lot
of various angles. Its like women and men don’t seem to be fascinated except it is something
to accomplish with Woman gaga! Your personal stuffs great.
All the time care for it up!
I every time spent my half an hour to read this website’s articles every day along with a
mug of coffee.
I enjoy the precious information and facts anyone provide as part of your content articles. I will save your blog look once more here frequently. I’m fairly i will discover plenty of innovative products right the following! Good luck for the next!
Many thanks!! for this manual. I just scored a beauty at the thrift, case, foot pedal and all. Works perfectly. I think it’ll be for my son.
I just borrowed a Husqvarna 21 A sewing machine from a friend who bought it at a garage sale. Would you please send the user manual to me?
joyceyamamotoartist@gmail.com
Thank you!!
I’m excited to see if the machine works!
Warm regards and thanks,

Hi! My name is Aimee, I just received a Husqvarna 21 A machine from my husbands great grandmother as a gift. It is in great condition but I really could use the manual. The download above is not working. Could you possibly email it to me? My address is Aimeehicks11@gmail.com Thank you so so much!!!
Helloo!! I have searched everywhere for a manual to that machine! O would love if you could send it too me to!?:-D sorry for my bad english.. Hope you understand me!
I have a viking classic 21 in case with manual. Great Condition.
Selling to best offer
jleitner@cfl.rr.com
We bought an early CI 21 in the box with everything original. It has the owners manual, the wheel chart for the different stitches etc… What a find, we bought it because it looked retro and cool… I was really surprised to find everything in there! Even old fabric that had been stitched on with all
The different styles, and a button… my wife will hopefully learn now as A friend is a confident sewer & is going to help…
Out of curiosity, are they worth anything?
Hi, my partner has just bought me a mint condition CI21 Husquvarna Automatic. Could you please email me a copy of the manual? I see from the comments above that you are the ‘go-to’ person for them! Does it only do zig-zag, or am I being daft? It only has zig-zag stitches on the wheel. All information gratefully received!
I have a manual in PDF format. Don’t understand this “Spinning A Yarn” thing. I you want the manual send me the address you want it sent to.
johnhagold@gmail.com

Hi! I just found your link to the Husqvarna CI 21A sewing machine manual.

Thanks for the manual download.
Hello, I just bought a good Husqvarna 21A from 1960 for € 50,– . almost identical to the one I used at home in my youth. Thanks very much for the manual.
Hi, found this beauty machine at a local swap meet (flee market) maybe a year ago, now with this global pandemic i have the time to restore it, it’s not in bad shape but needs a little of love, it’s in working conditions with case, just a little rusty.
Thank you for the user manual
Nicely done aand written.
I started writing myself recently and realised many peole simply
rework old content but add very littl of value. It’s terrific to
read an enlightening post of some true value to me, as a reader.
It is going down on the list of factors I need to emulate aas a new blogger.
Audience engagement aand material value are king.
Some superb ideas; you’ve most certainly made it on my list of sitfes to follow!
Keep up the terrific work!
Well done,
Dav
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I’ve spent hours looking for this user guide online an it’s nowhere!!!
You’ve just made my day!!!
greetings from Argentina!
Hi Jess
Many thanks for posting the Husqvarna 21 Manual for all of us to use ! The old metal machines are the best. I’ll bet a new electronic one would be of no use if thrown in a dumpster for a couple of months !!!
I was surprised that Husqvarna Sweden don’t still make copies available, especially when I see how many people are still wanting one.
Regards from Inger in South Africa.
Hello i’m selling mine
Nice one. Kindly send me a copy of the manual please
Gracias por el manual lo había buscado por mucho tiempo. Saludos desde Venezuela
Please send me the manual I will
