If you do not have a perfect straight stitch, odds are no other type of decorative stitches or buttonholes will be properly formed. Hold your hands at each end of the stitching and give a quick, firm snap to the fabric. Occasionally, the bobbin tension will have to be adjusted slightly. You may want to know how to make this adjustment if you are planning to use decorative threads in your bobbin. If you are unsure how to adjust bobbin tension, stop by as our staff will be happy to assist you.
Some models require that the thread be wound clockwise while others are counter clockwise.
Keep this in mind when you are using a new machine for the first time. It is recommended that you use only Husqvarna Viking bobbins in your machine. When winding and inserting a bobbin, be sure that the Husqvarna logo is facing you. Winding bobbins at a slow, steady speed ensures even winding and prevents expansion of the bobbin. When using monofilament, transparent or polyester threads, wind the bobbin at a slower speed.
