PRESSER FEET

Utility Foot A

Snapped onto the machine upon delivery. This foot is used mainly for straight stitching and zigzag stitching with a stitch length longer than 1.0.

Decorative Stitch Foot B

Use this foot for sewing close zigzag stitches (satin stitches) with less than 1.0 mm stitch length and decorative stitches. The tunnel on the underside of the foot is designed to feed smoothly over the stitches.

Buttonhole Foot C

For manual buttonholes. This foot has guide lines to determine buttonhole length. The middle measures a 5/8" (15 mm) from the fabric edge. The two tunnels on the underside of the foot ensure a smooth feed over the buttonhole columns. The finger on the back of the foot holds cording for corded buttonholes.

Blindhem Foot D

This foot is used for blindhem stitches. The inner edge of this foot guides the fabric. The right toe of the foot is designed to ride along the hem edge.

Zipper Foot E

This foot can be snapped on either to the right or to the left of the needle. This makes it easy to sew both sides of the zipper. Move needle position to right or left to sew closer to zipper teeth or for covering large cording.

Non-Stick Glide Foot H

This foot has a non-stick coating on the underside. It is used when sewing foam, vinyl, plastic or leather to keep the material from sticking to the foot.

Edging Foot J

This foot is used for overcasting and scam/overcasting, with stitches that have a stitch width of 5.0 and 5.5 mm. Stitches form over the pin which prevents puckering at the edge of the fabric.

Embroidery/Darning Foot R

This foot is used for free motion embroidery/quilting/stitching and hoop embroidery.

UNPACKING

1. Place the machine on a sturdy, flat surface, remove the packaging and lift off the cover.
2. Remove the packing material and the foot control.
3. The machine is delivered with an accessory bag, a power cord and a foot control cord.
4. Wipe the machine, particularly around the needle and stitch plate to remove any soil before sewing.

Note: Your HUSQVARNA VIKING® DESIGNER TOPAZ™ 50 sewing and embroidery machine is adjusted to provide the best stitch result at normal room temperature. Extreme hot and cold temperatures can affect the sewing result.

CONNECTING THE FOOT CONTROL CORD

Among the accessories you will find the foot control cord and the power cord. Connecting the foot control cord to the foot control is only necessary the very first time you are going to use the machine.

1. Take out the foot control cord. Turn the foot control over. Connect the cord to the socket inside the space of the foot control.
2. Push firmly to make sure it is properly connected.
3. Lay the cord in the slot on the underside of the foot control.

CONNECT THE POWER CORD AND FOOT CONTROL

On the underside of the machine you will find information about the power supply voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz).

Note: Before plugging in the foot control, check to ensure that it is of type "FR5" (see underside of foot control).

1. Connect the foot control cord to the front socket on the bottom right side of the machine (1).
2. Connect the power cord to the rear socket on the bottom right side of the machine (2).
3. Press the I/O switch to "T" to turn on power and light (3).

For the USA and Canada

This sewing machine has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

USB PORT

On the right side of your machine you will find a USB port to connect your USB stick.

Note: Make sure that the USB stick you use has the format FAT32.

CONNECT TO AND REMOVE FROM USB PORT

Insert the USB stick in the USB port on the right side of your machine. The USB plug can only be inserted one way - do not force it into the port!

To remove, carefully pull the USB stick out straight.

Technical illustration of a sewing machine with a red arrow indicating motion (no text or symbols present)

SPOOL PINS

Your 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 both in a horizontal position (the thread reels off the spool) and a vertical position (the thread spool rotates). Use the horizontal position for regular sewing threads and the vertical position for specialty threads.

HORIZONTAL POSITION

Place a spool cap and the thread spool on the spool pin. Make sure that the thread reels off the spool counter clockwise and slide on a second spool cap. Use a spool cap slightly larger than the thread spool.

The flat side of the spool cap should be pressed firmly against the spool. There should be no space between the spool cap and the thread spool.

Note: Not all thread spools are manufactured in the same way. If you experience problems with the thread, turn it in the opposite way or use the vertical position.

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.

Do not place a spool cap on top of the vertical spool pin as it may prevent the spool from rotating.

Note: When the spool pin is used in the vertical position, the thread tension might need to be adjusted manually.

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 the large 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 is not needed.

THREADING THE UPPER THREAD

Make sure that the presser foot is raised and the needle is in the up position.

1. Place the thread on the spool pin and the spool cap on the spool as described on page 2:4.

2. Spool pin in horizontal position: Bring the thread over and behind the pre-tension thread guide (A) and under the thread guide (B).

NEEDLE THREADER

The needle threader allows you to thread the needle automatically. 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. The threader hook (G) swivcls through the needle eye.
2. Place the thread from the back over the hook (F) and under the thread hook (G).
3. Let the needle threader gently swing back. The hook pulls the thread through the needlec cyc and forms a loop behind the needle. Pull the thread loop out behind the needle.

Note: The needle threader is designed to be used for size 70-120 needles. You cannot use the needle threader for needles size 60 or smaller, the wing needle, twin needle, triple needle or when the Sensor One-Step buttonhole foot is attached. There are also some 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.

THREADING FOR TWIN NEEDLE

Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle. Make sure the presser foot is raised and the needle is in the up position.

1. 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, place a felt pad under the thread spool.
2. Place the first thread spool on the spool pin. The spool should rotate in a clockwise direction when the thread reels off the spool.
3. LEFT NEEDLE: Thread the machine as described on page 2:5. Check to ensure that the thread lies between the left thread tension discs (A). Thread the left needle manually.
4. Pull out the auxiliary spool pin and slide on the large spool cap. For spools smaller than the medium size spool cap, place a felt pad under the thread spool.
5. Place the second thread on the spool pin. The second spool should rotate in a counterclockwise direction when the thread reels off the spool.
6. 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: Activate and choose the correct needle width in Sewing Settings in SET Menu to prevent damage to the needle or the presser foot.

THREAD CUTTER

There are three thread cutters on your machine. The first one is close to the bobbin winder spindle (A) for cutting the thread before and after winding a bobbin. The second one is next to the bobbin area (B) for cutting the bobbin thread after placing it in the machine. The third one is on the left side of the machine (C) for manually cutting top and bobbin threads. Pull both threads into the cutter from the back to the front and pull down quickly.

THREAD SENSOR

If the upper thread breaks or bobbin thread runs out, the machine stops and a pop-up appears on the screen.

If upper thread breaks: Re-thread the machine and touch OK on the pop-up. If bobbin thread runs out: replace with a wound bobbin and continue sewing.

Note: When the bobbin thread is almost empty, the bobbin thread low pop-up appears on the screen. You can continue sewing without closing the pop-up before the bobbin thread runs out completely.

BOBBIN WINDING

BOBBIN WINDING THROUGH THE NEEDLE

Make sure that the presser foot and the needle are in the up position.

1. Place an empty bobbin on the bobbin spindle on the top of the machine. The bobbin only fits on one way, with the logo facing up. Use only original HUSQVARNA VIKING® bobbins.

2. Thread the machine with the main spool pin in the horizontal position.

Note: If the thread spool is too large to be in horizontal position, wind the bobbin as described under "Winding Specialty Threads" below.

1. Bring the thread up from the needle, under the presser foot and up to the right through thread guide (A). Note: Use a metal presser foot when bobbin winding from the needle.

2. Guide the thread through the hole in the bobbin from the inside to the outside.

3. Push the bobbin winder spindle to the right to wind. A pop-up appears on the screen to inform you that bobbin winding is active. To adjust winding speed, use the slider in the pop-up. Start bobbin winding by pressing the foot control or touch the start/stop.

When the bobbin is full, it will stop winding. Release the foot control or touch the start/stop button to stop the bobbin winder motor from running. Move the bobbin winder spindle to the left and the pop-up will close. Remove the bobbin and cut the thread using the bobbin thread cutter.

Note: It is important that you cut the thread end close to the bobbin.

Note: Moving the bobbin spindle to the left will engage the sewing mechanism. Always stop winding by pushing the Start/Stop button or releasing the foot control before moving the bobbin spindle.

WINDING SPECIALTY THREADS

We do not recommend winding speciality threads such as "invisible" or other stretchy threads, metallic or flat metallic threads through the needle.

Always wind these threads at minimum speed.

1. Place an empty bobbin on the bobbin spindle at the front of the machine. The bobbin only fits on one way, with the logo facing up. Use only original HUSQVARNA VIKING® bobbins.

2. Place the large spool cap and a felt pad under the spool on the main spool pin set in the vertical position.

3. Bring the thread over the Pre-Tension Thread guide (B) and down around the thread tension disc (C), then through thread guide (D) as illustrated.

4. See Bobbin Winding Through the Needle, step 4-5.

NEEDLES

The sewing machine needle plays an important role in successful sewing. Use only quality needles. We recommend needles of system 130/705H. The needle package included with your machine contains needles of the most frequently used sizes.

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 flex in the fabric. For knits, swimwear, fleece, synthetic suedes and leathers.

Embroidery Needle (C)

Embroidery needles have a special scarf, a slightly rounded point and a slightly larger eye to avoid damage to thread and materials. Use with metallic and other specialty threads for embroidery and decorative sewing.

Denim Needle (D)

Denim needles have a sharp point to penetrate tightly woven fabrics without deflecting the needle. For canvas, denim, microfibers.

Wing Needle (E)

The Wing needle has wide wings on the side of the needle to poke holes in the fabric when sewing entredeux and other hemstitches on natural fiber fabrics. For canvas, denim and microfibers.

Note: Change the needle often. Always use a straight needle with a sharp point (F).

A damaged needle (G) can cause skipped stitches, breakage or snapping of thread. A damaged needle can also damage the needle plate.

Do not use asymmetrical twin needles (H) since they may damage your sewing machine.

THREADS

There are many threads on the market today developed for different purposes.

All Purpose Sewing Thread

All purpose sewing thread is made of synthetic, cotton or cotton covered polyester. This type of thread is used for sewing garments and projects.

Embroidery Thread

Embroidery thread is made of various fibers: rayon, polyester, acrylic or metallic. These threads create a smooth glossy appearance for embroidery and other decorative stitching.

When embroidering, use embroidery bobbin thread because it is a fine weight and will not build up under embroidery.

Note: When using a metallic or a flat film thread for embroidering, you may need to use a needle with a larger eye and lower the embroidery speed. Thread the sewing machine with the spool in the vertical position.

Transparent Thread

Transparent thread, also called monofilament thread, is single clear synthetic thread. It is used for quilting and other decorative sewing. Thread the sewing machine with the spool in the vertical position. When winding a bobbin, wind at slow speed and wind the bobbin half full.

Note: Some fabrics have excess dye which can cause discoloration on other fabrics or on your sewing machine. This discoloration may be very difficult or impossible to remove.

Fleece and denim fabric, especially red and blue, often contain excess dye.

If you suspect that your fabric/ ready-to-wear garment contains a lot of excess dye, always pre-wash it before sewing/ embroidering to prevent discoloration of your machine.

STABILIZERS

Tear-Away Stabilizers

Tear-away stabilizers are used with stable woven fabrics. Place underneath fabric for decorative stitching or hoop with the fabric when embroidering. Tear away excess stabilizer after stitching.

Iron-on Tear-Away

Iron-on tear-away is a totally stable stabilizer that has a slick side that will iron on to fabric. It is recommended for knits and all unstable fabrics. Fuse it to the wrong side of the fabric before decorative stitching or hooping. Tear away excess stabilizer after stitching.

Cut-Away Stabilizer

Cut-away stabilizer does not tear so the excess has to be cut away. It is recommended for knits and all unstable fabrics, especially for hoop embroidery.

Water Soluble Stabilizer

Water soluble stabilizer is placed on top of the fabric when embellishing/embroidering napped and looped fabrics such as terry cloth. When embroidering cutwork, use it underneath the fabric. Place your work in water to dissolve the excess stabilizer. It is available in different thicknesses.

Disintegrating Stabilizer

Disintegrating stabilizer is a stable, loosely woven fabric that is used for techniques such as cutwork and to crochet off the fabric edge. The stabilizer disappears with heat.

Sticky Stabilizer

Sticky stabilizer is used for hoop embroidery when the fabric is too delicate or too small to be hooped. Hoop the sticky stabilizer with the paper side up. Remove the paper and stick the fabric onto the sticky surface. Tear away sticky stabilizer after stitching.

PICTOGRAM™ PEN

Use an air or water soluble marking pen for embroidery and Pictograms on all types of fabrics. The color disappears after a few hours. You can also use cold water to completely remove the markings. Make sure that all markings are removed before ironing or washing with soap or detergent.

SEWING INFORMATION TAB

Your machine will choose the best stitch settings for the selected fabric. The Sewing Information tab consists of three parts.

At the top of the tab you will see the Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR ^™ choices that you have made; what fabric you have chosen and what technique you wish to use.

Below the Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR ^™ setting you will see what needle to use, if stabilizer and/or glide sole is needed.

In the lower part of your tab you will find the stitch adjustments. Here you can make changes to your stitch such as thread tension, set your machine to free-motion sewing, activate Stitch Rc-Start, activate tapering, adjust stitch width, needle position, length, density, button sew-on and buttonhole length. The icons in this part of the window changes depending on which stitch you have chosen. These changes only affect the selected stitch. Your changed settings will be reset to default when selecting another stitch. The changed settings are not automatically saved when turning your machine off. You can save the adjusted stitch in My Stitches (see page 4:5).

Thread Tension

Your machine automatically sets the best thread tension for the selected stitch. The thread tension can be adjusted for specialty thread, techniques or fabric. Touch + to increase and - to decrease the needle 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.c. 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.

Free Motion Technique

When touching the Free Motion Technique icon a pop-up will appear allowing you to choose between two options: Free Motion Floating and Free Motion Spring Action.

Free Motion Floating

Activate to set the machine in Free Motion Floating mode. You can use presser foot R or an optional foot. Lower the feed teeth when using this function.

When sewing free motion at low speed the presser foot will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the needle plate while the stitch is being formed. At higher speed, the presser foot floats over the fabric while sewing. The fabric must be moved manually.

To adjust the presser foot height in Free Motion Floating mode, touch the + and - icon to make adjustments.

Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves up and down with the needle as you are stitching. Lowering the presser foot height will reduce the space between the presser foot and the fabric and eliminate the skipped stitches.

Note: Be careful not to reduce the presser foot height too much. The fabric must still move freely under the presser foot.

Note: If Free Motion Floating is activated, do not use any Spring action foot, as this might damage the presser foot. Activate Stitch Width Safety if the presser foot requires that.

Free Motion Spring Action

Select Free Motion Spring Action to activate the Free motion spring action mode. Lower the feed teeth. A spring action foot will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the needle plate while the stitch is being formed. The fabric must be moved manually.

If you are using the optional Sensor Q-foot activate Free Motion Spring Action and Stitch Width Safety.

Stitch Re-Start

When you stop sewing in the middle of a stitch, touch Stitch Re-Start to begin sewing at the beginning of the stitch. Any stitch adjustments made, will be kept.

Tapering

When touching the tapering icon a popup appears allowing you to choose how your stitch should start and finish. Tapering is only available when choosing a stitch in the H-menu. Read more about tapering on page 4:17.

STITCH ALTERING

Your machine will set the best settings for each selected stitch. You can make your own adjustments on the selected stitch. The setting changes will only affect the selected stitch. Your changed settings will be reset to default when selecting another stitch. The changed settings are not automatically saved when turning your machine off. You can save an adjusted stitch in a File Manager to keep the adjustments.

ALT function and arrows

The ALT icon is used to change the functions connected to the arrows. When you touch ALT, one or both icons next to the arrows will change. Touch ALT again to change back to the original icons. Below you will find a description of the different icons that can appear when selecting a stitch.

Stitch Width

Decrease or increase the stitch width using the arrows below the stitch width icon. Default settings are shown in black numbers, adjusted settings in red.

Stitch Length

Increase or decrease the Stitch Length using the arrows next to the Stitch Lenght icon. If lengthening a Zig Zag stitch or a decorative stitch, the entire stitch will be longer. If lengthening a satin stitch where the density can be adjusted, the entire stitch will be longer but the density will remain the same.

Note: When trying to exceed minimum or maximum settings for width and length, a warning sound will be heard. The default setting is shown in black. Changed settings are shown in red.

Stitch Positioning

Use the arrows below to move the stitch to the right or to the left when using a straight stitch. The machine has a maximum of 29 needle positions (for a straight stitch).

When ALT function is selected on a stitch that has width position, the stitch can be moved right or left. The stitch position can only be changed to the limit of the maximum stitch width. Changing the stitch position will also limit the stitch width adjustment.

Stitch Density

Use the arrows beside the stitch density icon to adjust the density (the distance between the individual satin stitches that make up the entire stitch). The density does not affect the actual length of the complete stitch.

Touch the arrows to increase or decrease the value.

Note: Adjust the density when sewing with thicker thread or sewing with specialty threads and when a lessor more dense satin stitch is desired.

EXCLUSIVE SEWING ADVISOR™ FEATURE

Your new sewing machine has the HUSQVARNA VIKING® Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature. It is always active in Sewing Mode and is located at the bottom of the Touch Screen. When beginning a sewing project, touch your fabric type and weight, then touch the technique you desire.

The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature sets the best stitch, stitch length, stitch width, sewing speed, thread tension and sensor foot pressure for your project. The stitch is displayed on screen with presser foot and needle recommendations. When selecting sewing technique, the Information Tab is automatically opened.

Note: The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature is only valid in sewing.

FABRIC SELECTION

Woven or Knit

The difference between woven and knit fabric is the way the threads are put together. Woven fabrics are made of two thread systems, warp lengthwise and weft crosswise, that intersect at right angles. A knit fabric is made of one thread system with interlaced stitches. A knit fabric usually has stretch.

As a general rule, enter Woven for stable fabrics that have no stretch and Stretch for fabrics that have stretch.

Suggested Fabrics

A WOVEN LIGHT: chiffon, organza, batiste, silk, wool challis, etc.

B WOVEN MEDIUM: calico, quilting fabrics, wool crepe, broadcloth, etc.

C WOVEN HEAVY: denim, wool suiting and coating, canvas, terrycloth, etc.

D STRETCH LIGHT: charmeuse, nylon, tricot, single knit jerseys, etc.

E STRETCH MEDIUM: double knit, velour, swimwear, etc.

F STRETCH HEAVY: sweater knits, fleece, etc.

G LEATHER AND VINYL: suede, leather, vinyl and synthetic leather. When selected, the Non-Stick Glide Foot H is recommended for utility sewing. For decorative stitches and buttonholes, the Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature recommends the use of self-adhesive glide soles.

SEWING TECHNIQUES

SEAM

A seam sews two pieces of fabric together with a seam allowance that will usually be pressed open. In most cases, edges of the seam allowance are finished with an overcast stitch before sewing the seam.

Seams in stretch fabric must stretch with the fabric. The stretch stitch makes a stretchy scam that is suitable for sewing together pieces of light stretch fabric.

FABRIC: Woven medium, cut in two.

SELECT: Woven medium fabric and Seam technique. (The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a straight stitch.)

USE: Presser foot A and size 80 needle as recommended.

SEW:

• Place fabrics right sides together. Put the fabric in position under the presser foot. Line up the edge with the 5/8" (15 mm) scam guide.
• Step on the foot control. The presser foot lowers automatically.
• Sew a seam. When finished, touch the Selective Thread Cutter. The Selective Thread Cutter cuts top and bobbin threads and the presser foot raises so you can remove your project.

FABRIC: Stretch light, cut in two.

SELECT: Stretch light fabric and Seam technique. (The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a stretch stitch.)

USE: Presser foot A and size 75 stretch needle as recommended.

SEW:

• Place fabric pieces right sides together. Put the fabric in position under the presser foot. Line up the edge with the 3/8" (10 mm) seam guide for a 5/8" seam.
• Step on the foot control. The presser foot lowers automatically.
• Sew a seam. When finished, touch the Selective Thread Cutter. The Selective Thread Cutter cuts top and bobbin threads and the presser foot raises so you can remove your project.

OVERCAST

Overcast fabric edges to prevent fraying and to help them lay flat. It is easiest to overcast before the garment is sewn together. Presser foot J is recommended for light and medium weight fabric to prevent puckering along the cdgc. Presser foot B is used for heavy weight fabric. Your Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature will select the best stitch length and stitch width for the fabric weight and recommend the presser foot and needle.

FABRIC: Woven medium.

SELECT: Woven medium fabric and Overcast technique. (The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a three-step Zig Zag stitch.)

USE: Presser foot J and size 80 needle as recommended.

Place the edge of a single thickness of fabric under presser foot J with the wire guide along the edge of the fabric. The three-step Zig Zag stitch sews over the wire guide to keep the edge of the fabric flat.

SEW:

• Step on the foot control. The presser foot lowers automatically.
• Sew to overcast the edge of the fabric.
• Touch the Selective Thread Cutter.

Note: It is not necessary to overcast leather or vinyl because they do not fray. However, the Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature allows you to, if desired. Select Leather/ Vinyl fabric and Overcast technique on your Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature. (The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a Zig Zag stitch).

HEM

The I Hem technique on your Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature will select the visible or topstitch hem that is best for your fabric weight and type. For woven fabric and leather and vinyl, a straight stitch is selected. For stretch fabrics, stitches that stretch are selected.

Jeans Hem

When sewing over seams in extra heavy fabric or a blue jeans hem, the foot can tip as it rides over the seam. The needle can hit the tipped foot and break. Use the multipurpose tool to balance the height of the hem as you sew.

FABRIC: Denim fabric.

SELECT: Woven heavy and Hem.

USE: Presser foot B as recommended and size 90 jeans needle.

Touch needle up/down to select the needle down position. Begin sewing the bottom hem at or near the center back. As you near the side seam, stop sewing. Your machine stops with the needle in the fabric and raises the presser foot. Insert the multipurpose tool from behind.

Both sides of the multipurpose tool are raised. Use the side which corresponds closest to the thickness of the scam. Step on the foot control to lower the presser foot and continue sewing slowly over the thick seam.

Stop sewing again just in front of the scam (notice how the needle is in the fabric). Remove the multipurpose tool and re-insert it under the presser foot from the front.

Sew a few stitches until the whole presser foot has passed the scam and is resting on the multipurpose tool. Stop sewing once again. The needle is in the fabric, and the presser foot lifts. Remove the multipurpose tool. Continue sewing the hem.

Stretch Hem

Select Stretch Medium and the Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a flatlock stitch. Follow other recommendations given on the Interactive Color Touch Screen.

Fold a hem to the wrong side and stitch with flatlock stitch from the right side. Trim away excess fabric. Use this technique for belt loops too.

PERFECTLY BALANCED SENSOR ONE-STEP BUTTONHOLE

The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature will select the best buttonhole and stitch settings for your fabric. Fabric should be interfaced and/or stabilized where buttonholes are to be sewn.

You can also select your buttonhole directly from the Buttonhole Menu B.

FABRIC: Woven medium and stabilizer.

SELECT: Woven medium fabric and Buttonhole.

USE: Size 80 needle as recommended.

1. Snap on the Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot.
2. Plug the cord into the socket (A) to the left above the needle area.

3. Place your button on the buttonhole ruler on the baseplate.

4. Set the size of the button in mm on your screen.

Before sewing, line up the white area on the side of the wheel with the white marking line on the foot.

When sewing, your machine automatically sews the buttonhole long enough to fit the selected button size.

The buttonhole size needed will vary with the thickness and style of your button. Always stitch a sample buttonhole on scrap fabric first.

Note: For woven heavy and leather, the Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects buttonholes that should not be sewn with the Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot.

Sew the Buttonhole:

• Fold fabric in two and place stabilizer in between. Mark the buttonhole placement on your fabric with your Pictogram Pen. Set the length of the button size.
• Place fabric under Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot. The measurement wheel can be raised by lifting it, which makes it easier to place the fabric under the presser foot.

Note: Use the markings on the left toe of the Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot to position the garment edge. Place the edge of the garment at the middle mark to have 5/8" (15 mm) from the edge to the buttonhole.

- Step on the foot control. The Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot lowers automatically. A straight stitch is sewn away from you stabilizing the left buttonhole column, then the satin column is sewn toward you. This is repeated for the right column. The bartacks are automatic (see illustration 1). Keep the foot control depressed until the Selective Thread Cutter cuts the threads and the Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot is raised.

FREE MOTION QUILTING

Free Motion Floating

When sewing free motion at a low speed, the foot will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the stitch plate while the stitch is being formed. When sewing at a high speed, the foot floats over the fabric while sewing. The feed teeth must be lowered and the fabric is moved manually.

Most free motion sewing is stitched with a straight stitch or zig zag stitch. However, all stitches can be sewn in free motion mode. The direction and speed with which you move the fabric will determine how the stitch will look.

Note: Free Motion Spring Action – If you are using the optional Free Motion Spring Action presser foot, set the machine in Free Motion Spring Action mode. The feed teeth will be lowered. The setting remains when the machine is turned off. A pop-up message reminds you of the setting when you turn on the machine. Close the pop-up message by pressing OK. For normal sewing, turn off the Free Motion Spring Action mode in the Sewing Information tab.

The Free Motion Spring Action presser foot follows the up-and-down movement of the needle with the help of the spring and the arm on the presser foot. The feed teeth must be lowered and the fabric is moved manually.

Tip: Use the optional Open Toe Free Motion Spring foot.

Free Motion Floating Free Motion Spring Action

Free Motion Stippling

You will have to move the fabric manually.

1. Touch needle stop up/down to select the needle down position.
2. Sew at a constant medium speed, moving the fabric randomly. Try drawing squiggles with the needle as you sew. Free motion stippling is usually a random wavy stitching that should be fairly close together but not crossing. The stitching should look like puzzle pieces.
   Tip: Use the optional Open Toe Stippling Foot for better visibility when free motion stippling.

Note: To set the machine to regular sewing touch the Freemotion icon and deselect the 1'ree Motion setting.

TO HOOP THE FABRIC

For the best embroidery results, place a layer of stabilizer beneath the fabric. When hooping stabilizer and fabric make sure that they are smooth and securely hooped.

1. Open the Quick Release (B) on the outer hoop and loosen the screw (C). Remove the inner hoop. Place the outer hoop on a firm flat surface with the screw on the lower right. There is a small arrow in the center of the lower edge of the hoop which will line up with a small arrow on the inner hoop.
2. Place the stabilizer and fabric, with the right sides facing up, on top of the outer hoop. Place the inner hoop on top of the fabric with the small arrow at the bottom edge. If you can see the hoop size in the lower part of the inner hoop, you have attached it correctly.
3. Push the inner hoop firmly into the outer hoop.
4. Close the Quick Release (B). Adjust the pressure of the outer hoop by turning the retaining screw (C). The fabric should be taut in the hoop for the best results.

Note: When embroidering additional designs on the same fabric, open the quick release, move the hoop to the new position on the fabric and close the quick release. When changing type of fabric, you might need to adjust the pressure using the retaining screw. Do not force the quick release.

BASIC DESIGN POSITIONING

Basic design positioning allows you to place a design on an exact spot on your fabric. It is also used when you want to connect an design to a previously embroidered design.

HOW TO USE BASIC DESIGN POSITIONING

To select locking point on screen (I)

The first step is to select a locking point (1). A locking point is a point in the design that you want to place in a specific spot on your fabric. You might also use this to connect the design to another design that has already been embroidered.

Place the red cursor where you would like the locking point to be placed in your embroidery. If you want to set the locking point in a corner, use the corner icons. Use zoom to cursor to be able to place the cursor exactly where you want it.

Note: The closer you zoom, the easier it will be to place your locking point exactly where you want it.

Move locked point on fabric (2)

In step 2 you will be looking at the fabric in your hoop. As you touch the arrows in step 2, your hoop will move. Use your stylus on the screen or the arrows to move your hoop until the needle is exactly where you want the locking point to be on your fabric. Check the position by lowering the needle using the hand wheel.

The position of the needle indicates where the locking point is placed on the fabric.

Note: The locking point is not the starting point of your embroidery; only a reference point for placement.

Raise needle

When the needle is lowered with the handwheel to check the needle position on the fabric, a pop-up message is displayed when trying to adjust the hoop position. Check the box to be able to fine tune the hoop position with the needle lowered.

Note: Make sure the needle is above the fabric to prevent damage to the needle and fabric.

Note: The warning cannot be disabled when the needle is below the stitch plate.

OK Cancel Select locking point on screen Move locked point on fabric Options when touching ALT

Corner icons

Raise needle. Allow lower needle position

CORNER ICONS

Use the corner icons to set the locking point for Basic Design Positioning in a corner of the design or at the center. This is the easiest and most precise way since the connecting point will be automatically placed exactly in the corner.

The corner icons may also be used when locking point is selected. When touching one of the icons, the selected point will automatically be set to the corresponding position, i.e. at a corner or at the center of the embroidery.

E.g. when choosing the upper left corner icon, the connecting point will be set at the upper left corner in the outer line of the design(s). After this, you can continue and make your own adjustments on the connecting point.

Trace the design field

The corner icons can also be used to trace the design field by touching each of the four corner icons in turn. You can find the center of the design again by touching the centering icon.

ZOOM OPTIONS/PAN

Touch the zoom to cursor icon to zoom in to the cursor position as much as possible. You can position the locking and matching point exactly where you want them.

The Selective Thread Cutter automatically cuts the threads and raises the presser foot. At the end of a color block the top thread only is cut. When the design is finished, both top and bobbin threads are cut automatically.

NEEDLE STOP UP/DOWN (TRIM POSITION)

The machine will move the hoop forward, towards you, for easy thread trimming.

EMBROIDERY STITCH-OUT POP-UP MESSAGES

Embroidery Unit Calibration

When the embroidery unit is attached, a pop-up message asks you to slide off the hoop and clear the machine area for calibrating the embroidery arm. You will also be reminded to attach the correct embroidery foot.

Note: It is very important to remove the hoop, otherwise the hoop or the embroidery unit may be damaged while calibrating.

Attach correct hoop

If the size of the hoop attached to the machine does not match the size displayed on screen, the machine cannot embroider. You must change the hoop to the hoop size displayed in the pop-up or change the hoop setting.

To change hoop settings, return to Embroidery Edit and touch My Hoops icon.

Cut Thread End

When Automatic Jump Stitch Trim is selected in the SET menu, the thread end will be cut automatically. Simply remove the thread tail that has been cut.

Note: After changing the thread, the machine will sew a few stitches and then stop so you can cut the thread end.

Bobbin thread low - move to bobbin position?

When the bobbin thread is running low, a pop-up message appears giving you an advanced notice that you'll soon need to change the bobbin. This gives you an opportunity to plan when you want to change your bobbin. If you want to continue sewing just touch the foot control without touching the ok in the pop-up.

It is possible to embroider until the thread has completely run out. Press the start/stop button to continue embroidering without closing the bobbin thread low pop-up.

Touch cancel to remain at the current stitch position. Touch OK to move the hoop to bobbin position. The hoop position pop-up opens. Replace the empty bobbin with a full one. Touch Current position and pull back excess needle thread. Press start/stop or press your foot control to continue embroidering.

Remove hoop. Clear embroidery arm for calibration. Calibrate embroidery unit. Attach the recommended presser foot. Attach hoop: 360x200 Make sure the hoop clicks into place. Cut and remove thread end. Bobbin thread low, move to bobbin position?

Check Needle Thread

The machine stops automatically if the needle thread runs out or breaks. Re-thread the needle thread, close the pop-up message, go back a few stitches using the Step Stitch-by-Stitch control and start embroidering again.

Change to Cutwork Needle (optional accessory)

Some cutwork designs can be stitched out using the optional accessory HUSQVARNA VIKING® Embroidery Cutwork Needle Kit, (P/N 920268-096). These designs are marked with a cutwork needle symbol in the DESIGNER TOPAZ™ 50 Sampler Book. When the machine stops and this pop-up message is shown, insert the corresponding cutwork needle. Touch OK and press the Start/Stop button to resume.

Note: These cutwork designs can also be stitched out without the cutwork needles, but that color block will then have to be cut manually. If cutting manually, go to the next color block in the color block list when the pop-up appears.

Machine needs to rest

If the machine stops and this pop-up appears on the screen, the machine needs to rest. When the OK icon is enabled you can resume embroidering. The embroidery results will not be affected.

In this section you will find information about how to take care of your machine and also a troubleshooting guide.

CLEANING THE MACHINE

To keep your sewing machine operating well, clean it often. No lubrication (oiling) is needed.

Wipe the exterior surface of your machine with a soft cloth to remove any dust or lint build up.

Wipe the touch screen with the microfiber cloth included with your machine.

Cleaning the Bobbin Area

Note: Lower the feed teeth and turn off the machine (see page 2:8).

Remove the presser foot and slide off the bobbin cover. Lower the feed teeth. Place the screwdriver under the needle plate as shown in the picture and gently turn the screwdriver to pop off the needle plate. Clean the feed teeth with the brush found with the accessories.

Cleaning under the Bobbin Area

Clean the area under the bobbin case after sewing several projects or any time you notice an accumulation of lint in the bobbin case area.

Remove the bobbin case holder (A) covering the front part of the bobbin case by lifting it up. Remove the bobbin case (B) by lifting it up. Clean with the brush.

Note: Use caution when cleaning around the Selective Thread Cutter knife (C).

Put the bobbin case and the bobbin case holder back in place.

Note: Do not blow air into the bobbin case area. The dust and lint will be blown into your machine.

Note: When using the optional accessory HUSQVARNA VIKING® Embroidery Cutwork Needles, it is necessary to clean the bobbin area after each embroidered design/project.

Replacing the Needle Plate

With feed teeth lowered, place the needle plate so that it fits into the notch at the back (D). Press the needle plate down until it clicks into place. Slide on bobbin cover.
