Lowering The Feed Teeth - Husqvarna Viking Scandinavia 400 User Manual

Correct and incorrect thread
tension
To understand the correct thread
tension, sew a few sample stitches at
different settings.
Adjust tension only with the
function buttons (see page 18). Do
not turn dial.
1. Begin with a tension that is too
loose, i.e. set at "1". The lower
thread will lie straight and the
upper thread will be drawn down
on the underside.
2. If you set the tension at the highest
number, the opposite will occur,
and the seam may pucker.
3. When thread tension is correctly
set the threads interlock in the
middle of both layers of material
or, in the case of decorative
stitches, on the underside.

Lowering the feed teeth

The feed teeth are lowered
automatically when the embroidery
unit is in place.
When removing the embroidery unit,
the feed teeth will raise as you start to
sew.
The feed teeth are lowered when you
turn the dial to the left to
the dial to the right to
wish to raise the feed teeth. The feed
teeth will not come up until you begin
to sew.
Lower the feed teeth for sewing
buttons and for free motion quilting
and embroidery.
By lowering the feed teeth it is easier
to get thick garments under the presser
foot. Do not forget to raise the feed
teeth before starting to sew.

Note! Make a few tests on a scrap
