TROUBLE SHOOTING

If you have followed the below trouble shooting information and still are having sewing

problems, take the sewing machine to your Authorized HUSQVARNA VIKING® Dealer.

Non-Original Parts and Accessories

The warranty does not cover any defect or damage caused by use of non-original accessories or

parts.

Any Time You Experience a Problem When Sewing:

• Rethread the top and bobbin threads.

• Use different spool pin positions (vertical or horizontal).

regular sewing thread in the bobbin.
