5. CARE OF YOUR MACHINE
43
Any Time You Experience
a Problem When Sewing:
• Rethread the top and bobbin threads.
• Use different spool pin positions (vertical
or horizontal).
• Use thread nets and quality thread. We
recommend the same sewing thread
on top and bobbin for general sewing.
For decorative sewing we recommend
embroidery thread on top and regular
sewing thread on bobbin.
Fabric Puckers?
• Check needle, it could be damaged.
• Rethread top and bobbin threads.
• Change thread type to match fi ber and
sewing technique.
• Use quality thread
• Shorten stitch length
• Use stabilizer
• Check your thread tension
Skipped Stitches?
• Check needle - it could be damaged.
• Change needle to recommended size and
type.
• Be sure the needle is inserted correctly
and all the way into the clamp.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Have your Sewing Machine Serviced Regularly
by an Authorized HUSQVARNA VIKING
®
Dealer!
If you have followed the below trouble shooting information and still are having sewing
problems, take the sewing machine to your authorized dealer. If there is a specifi c problem, it
is a great help to test sew with your thread on a scrap of your sewing fabric and bring it to your
dealer. A sewing sample will often give much better information than words.
