Lower The Feed Teeth; Needle Thread Tension - Husqvarna Viking Viking H Class 100Q User Manual

LOWER THE FEED TEETH

To lower the feed teeth you need to remove
the accessory box. The feed teeth lever is
located on the back of the machine at the
base of the free-arm.
Slide the lever to the right (A) to lower the
feed teeth. The feed teeth are raised when
you move the lever to the left (B). The feed
teeth will come up when you begin to sew
or turn the handwheel towards you one full
revolution. The feed teeth should be lowered
when sewing on buttons.

NEEDLE THREAD TENSION

Standard thread tension setting is "4". To
increase the thread tension, turn the dial to a
higher number. To reduce the thread tension,
turn the dial to a lower number.
To understand the correct thread tension,
sew a few sample straight stitches at different
settings on double layer of fabric.
1. Begin with a tension that is too loose, i.e.,
set at a low 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 a high number,
the top thread might break and the seam
may pucker.
3. The correct thread tension is set when the
threads interlock in the middle of both
fabric layers or, in the case of decorative
stitches, on the underside.
Make a few tests on a scrap piece of the fabric
you are going to sew and check the tension.
