Stitch Altering; Stitch Width - Husqvarna Viking Viking Topaz 40 User Manual

STITCH ALTERING

Your machine will set the best settings for each selected stitch.
You can make your own adjustments on the selected stitch.
The setting changes will only affect the selected stitch. Your
changed settings will be reset to default when selecting another
stitch. The changed settings are not automatically saved when
turning your machine off. You can save an adjusted stitch in
My Stitches to keep the adjustments (see page 5:4).
Thread Tension
Your machine automatically sets the best thread tension for
the selected stitch. The thread tension can be adjusted for
specialty thread, techniques or fabric. Touch + to increase
and - to decrease the needle thread tension.
To understand the correct thread tension, sew a few sample
straight stitches at different settings.
1. Begin with a tension that is too loose, i.e. set at the lowest
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 the highest number, the bobbin
thread will be visible on the top side of the fabric. The
seam may pucker and the top thread might break.
3. The correct thread tension is set when the threads
interlock in between both fabric layers or, in the case of
decorative stitches, on the underside.

Stitch Width

Decrease or increase the stitch width using the arrows below the
stitch width icon. Default settings are shown in black numbers,
adjusted settings in red.
