5 Stitches and Sewing Techniques
Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ Feature
Your machine has the HUSQVARNA® VIKING® Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature. When beginning a sewing
project, first choose the stitch you want to sew. Then, on the color touch screen, touch the icon for the fabric type and weight
you are sewing. The machine automatically sets the tension, stitch length and differential feed settings and gives
recommendations based on your selected fabric type.
Woven or Knit Fabric
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 Fabric
Woven Light
Chiffon, voile, organza, batiste, silk, etc.
Woven Medium
Cotton, chino, wool, satin, etc
Woven Heavy
Denim, canvas, terrycloth, etc.
Stitch Overview
The settings shown in the stitch overview are our recommendations based on normal conditions. Each stitch has a pre-set stitch
length and thread tension. It may be necessary to adjust the settings according to the stitch, type of fabric and thread you are
using. For best results make adjustments in small steps of no greater than half a number at a time. Always test sew on a sample
of your fabric before sewing on your project.
Different stitches are obtained by combining different needle positions, threading methods, and the use of the 2-thread
converter.
