Husqvarna Viking Sewing Machines
Most are Low Shank Machines
The information listed below seems to be a great fix for the issues often experienced when template quilting on Husqvarna Viking sewing machines.
Designer Diamonds, Rubys, Sapphires,Opal,Epic etc.
1. Do not choose FREE MOTION setting.
2. Go into settings menu and uncheck AUTO FEED DOG DROP - this will open another Menu where you can CHECK to lower the feed dogs.
3. Then uncheck SENSOR SYSTEM.
4. Use the STRAIGHT STITCH (make sure to center your needle in the RULER FOOT) and you should be good.
(I have not had any issues with the Designer EPIC;
however, if you experience problems, please try the above changes.
