LOWER THE FEED TEETH
The feed teeth are lowered when you move the switch on the
front of the free arm to the right. Move the switch to the left
if you wish to raise the feed teeth. The feed teeth will raise
as you begin to sew. The feed teeth should be lowered when
sewing on buttons and for free motion sewing.
PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE
Normal presser foot pressure is around fi ve. The higher the
number the more pressure the foot puts on the fabric. Knit
and soft fabrics should be sewn at lower pressure.
The presser foot pressure is adjusted with the dial found under
the lid. When adjusting the pressure lower the presser foot
fi rst.
RAISE AND LOWER THE PRESSER FOOT
The presser foot is raised and lowered with the presser foot
lever (A). The presser foot must be lowered when sewing.
By raising the presser foot lever and then pressing it farther
upwards, the lift height of the presser foot is increased to an
extra height allowing you to slide very thick projects under the

NEEDLES
The sewing machine needle plays an important role in
successful sewing. To ensure you will get a quality needle, we
recommend needles of system 130/705H. The needle package
included with your machine contains needles of the most
frequently used sizes for sewing on woven and stretch fabrics.
Universal needle (A)
Universal needles have a slightly rounded point and come in a
variety of sizes. For general sewing in a variety of fabric types
and weights.
Stretch needle (B)
Stretch needles have a special scarf to eliminate skipped
stitches when there is a fl ex in the fabric. For knits, swimwear,
fl eece, synthetic suedes and leathers. Marked with a yellow
band.
Tip: Read more about different needles in the HUSQVARNA
VIKING Accessory User’s Guide at www.husqvarnaviking.com.
Note: Change the needle often. Always use a straight needle with a sharp
point (1). A damaged needle (2) can cause skipped stitches, breakage of
needles or snapping of thread. A damaged needle can also damage the
stitch plate.

14 – Getting Ready to Sew
SPOOL PINS AND SPOOL CAPS
Your sewing machine has two spool pins, a main spool pin and an auxiliary spool pin. The spool pins are designed for all types
of thread. The main spool pin is adjustable and can be used in a horizontal position (the thread reels off the stationary spool) or
in a vertical position (the thread spool rotates). Use the horizontal position for all regular sewing threads and the vertical position
for large spools or specialty threads.
Auxiliary Spool Pin
The auxiliary spool pin is used when winding a bobbin from
a second spool of thread or for a second spool when sewing
with a twin needle.
Lift the auxiliary spool pin up and to the left. Slide on a spool
cap. For spools smaller than the medium size spool cap, place
a felt pad under the thread spool to prevent the thread from
reeling off too fast. For larger spools, the felt pad shall not be
used.
Horizontal Position
Lift the spool pin up slightly from its horizontal position to
easily place the thread spool on the pin. The thread should reel
over the top, in a counterclockwise direction, as shown in the
picture. Slide on a spool cap and then move the spool pin back
to the horizontal position.
Each machine comes with two spool caps on the spool pin.
For medium sized thread spools, the medium sized cap (A) is
placed in front of the spool. For large thread spools, the large
cap (B) is placed in front of the spool.
The fl at side of the spool cap should be pressed fi rmly against
the spool. There should be no space between spool cap and
thread spool.
A small spool cap is included as an accessory for your
machine. The small spool cap can be used for small thread
spools.
Vertical Position
Lift the spool pin up and all the way to the right. Lock the
spool pin in the vertical position by slightly pressing it down.
Slide on the large spool cap. For spools smaller than the
medium size spool cap or when using specialty threads, place
a felt pad under the thread spool to prevent the thread from
reeling off too fast. For larger spools, the felt pad is not
needed.
Note: No spool cap should be placed on top of the spool as this prevents
the spool from rotating.

NEEDLE THREADER
The needle must be in the up position to use the built-in
needle threader. We also recommend lowering the presser foot.
1. Use the handle to pull the needle threader all the way
down, catching the thread under the guide (A).
2. Push back to bring the needle threader forward until the
metal fl anges cover the needle. A small hook will pass
through the needle eye (B).
3. Place the thread under the fl anges in front of the needle,
so the thread catches into the small hook (C).
4. Let the needle threader gently swing back. The hook pulls
the thread through the needle eye and forms a loop behind
the needle.
5. Pull the thread loop out behind the needle. Place the thread
under the presser foot.
Note: The needle threader is designed to be used for size 70-120 needles.
You cannot use the needle threader for size 60 needles or smaller, the wing
needle, twin needle, triple needle or when the Sensor One-Step Buttonhole
Foot is on. There are also some other optional accessories that require
manual threading of the needle.
When threading the needle manually, make sure that the needle
is threaded from front to back. The white presser foot ankle
makes it easy to see the eye of the needle. The bobbin case
cover can be used as a magnifying glass.
CUTTING THE THREAD
Once you have fi nished sewing, cut the threads by raising the
presser foot and pulling the threads from the front to the back
into the thread cutter on the left side of the machine.

THREADING FOR TWIN NEEDLE
Press the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
1. Insert a twin needle.
2. Use a second thread spool or wind a bobbin with the
thread you are going to use as the second upper thread.
3. Lift the spool pin up and all the way to the right. Lock
the spool pin in the vertical position by slightly pressing
it down. Slide on a spool cap. For spools smaller than the
medium size spool cap, place a felt pad under the thread
spool.
4. Place the fi rst thread spool on the spool pin. The spool
should rotate in a clockwise direction when the thread reels
off the spool.
5. Left needle: Thread the machine as described on page 13.
Check to ensure that the thread lies between the left thread
tension discs (A). Thread the left needle manually.
6. Pull out the auxiliary spool pin and slide on a spool cap.
For spools smaller than the medium size spool cap, place a
felt pad under the thread spool.
7. Place the second thread on the spool pin. The second
spool should rotate in a counterclockwise direction when the
thread reels off the spool.
8. Right needle: Thread the machine as before but this thread
should lie between the right thread tension discs (A) and
outside the needle thread guide (B). Thread the right needle
manually.
Note: If using specialty threads (such as metallic threads) its weight and
irreglular surface increases the thread tension. By reducing the tension, the
risk of needle breakage is prevented.
Note: Only use symmetrical twin needles (C).
Do not use this type of twin needle (D), since
it may damage your sewing machine.

THREAD TENSION, 650
Use the recommended top thread tension setting given on
the GraphicDisplay. You might need to adjust the top thread
tension for special threads, fabrics and/or techniques. To set
the tension, turn the numbered tension dial. The higher the
number the tighter the tension.
Normal top thread tension is set to 4-6. When sewing
buttonholes and decorative stitches set thread tension to
around 3. When topstitching with a heavy weight thread
in thick fabric, increase the tension to 7-9. Thread tension
recommendation is always given on the GraphicDisplay for
the selected stitch and fabric.
Make a few tests on a scrap piece of the fabric you are going
to sew and check the tension.
AUTOMATIC THREAD TENSION, 670
The 670 model automatically sets the best thread tension
for the selected stitch and fabric. The thread tension can be
adjusted for specialty thread, techniques or fabric. Touch + to
increase the thread tension and - to decrease it.
Correct and Incorrect Thread Tension
To understand the correct thread tension, sew a few sample
straight stitches at different settings.
1. Begin with a tension that is too loose, i.e. set at the lowest
number. The bobbin thread will lie straight and the top
thread will be drawn to the underside of the fabric.
2. If you set the tension at the highest number, the bobbin
thread will be visible on the top side of the fabric. The
seam may pucker and the top thread might break.
3. The correct thread tension is set when the threads interlock
in between both fabric layers or, in the case of decorative
stitches, on the underside.
STARTING TO SEW
A straight stitch is selected by default when you turn on the machine. Before starting to sew, select your fabric quality in the
Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature, and set yout machine according to the recommendations on the GraphicDisplay/
TouchScreen (page 46).
To start sewing, place top and bobbin thread under the presser foot and to the back. For best results when beginning at the
edge of the fabric, place a fi nger on the threads to hold them in place as you begin.
Place fabric in position under the presser foot. Lower the presser foot and step on the foot control to begin sewing. Guide the
fabric gently with your hands as the machine is feeding.
See page 26 (650)/35 (670) for reference on how to select another stitch or how to use the Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™
feature (page 46).

Woven or Stretch (Knit)
