I cannot get the foot of the sewing machine to go down on top of the throat plate. It will not go up or down.
To fix the foot on the Husqvarna Viking Designer SE sewing machine that is stuck and won't move up or down, follow these steps:
1. Check the Free Motion Setting: If Free Motion mode is activated, the foot may behave differently. In Free Motion, the foot raises and lowers with each stitch below 200 stitches per minute and floats over the fabric above that speed. Turn off Free Motion mode if it's not needed.
2. Sensor Q-Foot Mode: If the machine is set for the Sensor Q-foot, it limits stitch width and may affect foot movement. Turn off this setting if you are not using the Sensor Q-foot.
3. Power Cycle the Machine: Turn off the machine using the ON/OFF switch, unplug it from the wall and the machine, then plug it back in and turn it on again. This may reset the foot positioning mechanism.
4. Check for Obstructions: Ensure there is no fabric, thread, or debris blocking the foot mechanism.
If the foot still does not move after these steps, there may be an internal mechanical or electronic issue requiring service.

How do I know what embroidery unit to buy?
The compatible embroidery unit for the Husqvarna Designer SE is the one specifically designed for the Designer SE model. It calibrates automatically when attached and should not be interchanged with units from other models like the Viking Rose, as compatibility is not guaranteed.
