How do I wind the bobbin on my Husqvarna Viking?Updated 3 months ago
Bobbin winding on your Husqvarna Viking sewing machine is a breeze. You have several ways you can wind your bobbin that adds to your sewing enjoyment!
Bobbin Winding through the Needle
Make sure that the presser foot and the needle are in the up position.
1. Place an empty bobbin on the bobbin spindle on the top of the machine. The bobbin only fits on one way, with the logo facing up. Use only original HUSQVARNA® VIKING® bobbins.
2. Thread the machine with the main spool pin in the horizontal position. Note: If the thread spool is too large to be in horizontal position, wind the bobbin as described under “Winding Specialty Threads” below.
3. Bring the thread up from the needle, under the presser foot and up to the right through thread guide (A). Note: Use a metal presser foot when bobbin winding from the needle.
4. Guide the thread through the hole in the bobbin from the inside to the outside.
Note: When using earlier version of HUSQVARNA® VIKING® bobbins that do not have a hole, wind a few turns of thread clockwise on the bobbin to get started.
5. Push the bobbin winding lever towards the bobbin to wind. A pop-up message appears on screen. To adjust winding speed drag the slider. Stop and start the bobbin winding with the on-screen buttons. Hold the end of the thread firmly when starting to wind. Once the bobbin begins to wind, cut the excess thread. Note: It is important that you cut the thread end close to the bobbin. When the bobbin is full, the bobbin winder lever will move back and the winding will stop automatically. The pop-up message closes. Remove the bobbin and cut the thread using the bobbin winding thread cutter.
Winding Specialty Threads
We do not recommend winding specialty threads such as “invisible” or other stretchy threads, metallic or flat metallic threads through the needle. Always wind these threads at minimum speed.
1. Place an empty bobbin on the bobbin spindle at the front of the machine. The bobbin only fits on one way, with the logo facing up. Use only original HUSQVARNA® VIKING® bobbins.
2. Place the large spool cap and a felt pad under the spool on the main spool pin set in the vertical position.
3. Bring the thread over the Pre-Tension Thread guide (B) and down around the thread tension disc (C), then through thread guide (D) as illustrated.
4. Guide the thread through the hole in the bobbin from the inside to the outside.
Note: When using earlier version of HUSQVARNA® VIKING® bobbins that do not have a hole, wind a few turns of thread clockwise on the bobbin to get started.
5. Push the bobbin winding lever towards the bobbin to wind. A pop-up message appears on screen. To adjust winding speed drag the slider. Stop and start the bobbin winding with the on-screen buttons. Hold the end of the thread firmly when starting to wind. Once the bobbin begins to wind, cut the excess thread.
Note: It is important that you cut the thread end close to the bobbin.
When the bobbin is full, the bobbin winder lever will move back and the winding will stop automatically. The pop-up message closes. Remove the bobbin and cut the thread using the bobbin winding thread cutter
Bobbin Winding while Embroidering or Sewing
1. Raise the auxiliary spool pin. Place the large spool cap, felt pad and thread spool on the spool pin.
2. Bring the bobbin thread around the thread tension disc (A) and through the thread guide (B) as illustrated.
3. Guide the thread through the hole in the bobbin from the inside to the outside.
4. Push the bobbin winder lever towards the bobbin to wind. A pop-up message appears on screen. To adjust winding speed drag the slider with your stylus. Stop and start the bobbin winding with the on-screen buttons. Hold the end of the thread firmly when starting to wind. When the bobbin is full, the bobbin winder lever will move back and the winding will stop automatically. The pop-up message closes. Remove the bobbin and cut the thread using the bobbin winding thread cutter.
Note: Make sure that the thread does not touch the cap of the horizontal spool pin when winding the bobbin. If it does, place the cap and spool higher on the vertical spool pin.
