How to fix stitches problem with my Husqvarna Viking Viking E20?
A stitches problem can happen because the needle is not inserted correctly, the needle is damaged, the wrong size needle has been used, or the foot is not attached correctly. Remove and reinsert the needle towards the back, insert a new needle, choose a needle to suit the thread and fabric, and check and attach the foot correctly.
Why does the upper thread keep breaking on my Husqvarna Viking Sewing Machine?
The upper thread may break due to several reasons: the machine might not be threaded correctly, the thread tension could be too tight, the thread might be too thick for the needle, the needle might not be inserted correctly, the thread could be wound around the spool holder pin, or the needle could be damaged. To resolve this, rethread the machine, reduce the thread tension, remove and rethread the spool, and replace the needle.
What to do if my Husqvarna Viking Viking E20 Sewing Machine needle breaks?
A needle can break because it is damaged, not correctly inserted, is the wrong size for the fabric, or the wrong foot is attached. Try these solutions: insert a new needle correctly towards the back, choose a needle suitable for the thread and fabric, and select the correct foot.
Why are the stitches loose on my Husqvarna Viking Viking E20?
Loose stitches can occur because the machine is not correctly threaded, the bobbin case is not correctly threaded, the needle/fabric/thread combination is wrong, or the thread tension is wrong. Check the threading, thread the bobbin case as illustrated, ensure the needle size suits the fabric and thread, and correct the thread tension.
What to do if the lower thread breaks on my Husqvarna Viking Viking E20 Sewing Machine?
The lower thread may break if the bobbin case is not inserted correctly, the bobbin case is threaded incorrectly, or the lower thread tension is too tight. Remove and reinsert the bobbin case, ensuring the thread pulls easily. Check both the bobbin and bobbin case threading. Loosen the lower thread tension as described.
Why is my Husqvarna Viking Viking E20 Sewing Machine making uneven stitches and feed?
Uneven stitches and feed can be caused by poor quality thread, the bobbin case being wrongly threaded, or pulling the fabric while sewing. Select a better quality thread, remove and rethread the bobbin case correctly, and avoid pulling the fabric; let it be fed by the feed dogs.
Why is my Husqvarna Viking Viking E20 Sewing Machine so noisy?
A noisy machine may need lubrication, have lint or oil collected on the hook or needle bar, be using poor quality oil, or have a damaged needle. Lubricate the machine, clean the hook and feed dog, use good quality sewing machine oil, and replace the needle.
