Winding Through The Needle - Husqvarna VIKING Designer Epic 3 User Manual

Winding Through the Needle

When using the same thread in the needle and bobbin, it is convenient to wind a new bobbin directly through the needle without
having to unthread/re-thread your machine.
We do not recommend winding speciality threads such as invisible or other stretchy threads, metallic or flat metallic threads through the
needle. Very heavy and coarse threads should not be wound through the needle either as the thread tension can become too high, causing the
needle to break. Wind specialty threads as described under Bobbin Winding, page 40.
1. Make sure that the presser foot and needle are in the up
position.
2. Thread the machine as described under Threading the
Upper Thread, page 33.
3. Pull the thread from the needle, under the presser foot
and up to the right.
Note: Always use a metal presser foot when bobbin winding from
the needle.
4. Bring the thread from right to left into the bobbin
winding thread guide (A), and from left to right through
thread guide (B).
5. Bring the thread directly through the two last bobbin
winding thread guides (C and D), bypassing the bobbin
tension disc.
Note: Bypass the tension disc when winding through the needle.
6. Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder (E) on the lower
right side of the machine. The bobbin only fits on one
way, with the logo facing out.
The bobbins included are designed especially for your
DESIGNER EPIC™ 3 machine. Do not use
bobbins from other machine models.
Wind a few turns of thread clockwise around the bobbin
and cut excess thread with the thread cutter (G).
7. Push the bobbin winding lever (F) towards the bobbin. A
pop-up appears on screen. To adjust winding speed drag
the slider. Stop and start the bobbin winding with the
button in the pop-up.
8. When the bobbin is full, the bobbin winding lever will
move back and the winding will stop automatically. The
pop-up message closes. Remove the bobbin and cut the
thread using the bobbin winding thread cutter (G).
