I’m having problems with my machine skipping stitches. I’m sewing on lightweight spandex and want to use the stretch stitch and zigzag stitches. Both top and bottom threads are skipping stitches. Can you please tell me the correct settings & what the tensions should be set at? Of anything else that might be wrong? Thank you, Vicki

I just unboxed my new Husqvarna Viking Emerald 116. The machine and foot control plug is all the way into the machine socket and the wall socket. Light turns on so I know I have good power connection. I’m ready to fill my bobbin and foot control is pressed to the floor and doesn’t work. I checked to ensure it is the correct foot control model number for the Emerald 116 and it is (Model YC 482 120 V).

All of a sudden, on a straight stitch, the front looks OK the back is all bunched up. On zigzag the bobbin thread shows through the top of the fabric.

After only a couple of stitches, the thread is knotted on the underside of fabric. Sometimes the thread breaks and then there is a piece of thread caught in the bobbin area to pull out. What do I need to adjust to get this to sew right?

Tensions. No, I won't tell you how. Read the owner's manual that just so happens to be at the top of this page.

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Husqvarna Viking Emerald 116 below.

What size needle should I use?

Which size of needle you can best use depends on the thickness of the fabric you use. With a thick fabric you should use a thick needle. The packaging of your needle states for which substances your needle is suitable.

How long does a sewing needle last?

Generally, a sewing needle lasts about 7 to 9 hours.

Why does the needle break while sewing?

There can be several causes for needle breakage: - Not using the right needle for the right fabric - The needle is set too low - The fabric is not properly guided - The bobbin case is not inserted correctly

How do I thread the sewing machine properly?

Start by placing the thread on the spool pin, then guide it through the thread guide and tension discs. Next, thread it through the take-up lever and down through the needle bar thread guide. Finally, pass the thread through the needle eye from front to back. Ensure the thread is securely in place before beginning to sew.

Why is the needle breaking frequently?

There are a few potential reasons for needle breakage. First, make sure you are using the correct type and size of needle for your fabric. Also, check if the needle is bent or dull, as this can cause breakage. It is important to insert the needle properly, with the flat side facing back and fully inserted into the needle clamp. Lastly, ensure that the needle is not hitting the throat plate or any other metal parts while sewing.

How can I adjust the tension for different fabrics?

To adjust the tension, locate the tension dial on the front of the machine. Higher numbers increase the tension, while lower numbers decrease it. For lightweight fabrics, you may need to reduce the tension, while heavier fabrics might require slightly higher tension. It is recommended to test the tension on a scrap piece of fabric before starting your project to ensure optimal stitch quality.

Why is the sewing machine not sewing straight stitches?

If your machine is not sewing straight stitches, start by checking the position of the needle. It should be centered in the needle clamp. Additionally, ensure that the fabric is aligned straight with the sewing machine's feeding mechanism. Uneven or improper fabric feeding can cause stitches to veer off course. Also, verify that the presser foot is firmly attached and flat against the fabric. Lastly, double-check the stitch length setting to ensure it is appropriately adjusted for straight stitching.

How can I troubleshoot bobbin thread tangling or looping?

If the bobbin thread is tangling or looping, begin by removing the bobbin from the machine and checking for any thread snags or tangles. Rewind the bobbin if necessary, ensuring it is wound evenly and tightly. Make sure the bobbin is correctly inserted into the bobbin case with the thread unwinding in the correct direction. Proper threading of the bobbin case is crucial, so pay attention to the user manual for correct placement. Adjusting the upper tension may also help resolve bobbin thread tangling issues.
