UNPACKING

1. Place the box on a steady, Á at surface. Lift off the

machine carrying case. Lift your machine out of the

box and remove the outer packaging.

2. Remove all other packing material and the plastic bag.

CONNECT THE POWER CORD AND FOOT

CONTROL

Among the accessories you will À nd the power cord and

the foot control.

Note: Before plugging in the foot control, check to ensure that it is type

“FR5” (see underside of foot control).

1. Pull out the cord from the foot control. Connect the

foot control cord to the front socket on the bottom

right side of the machine (1).

2. Connect the power cord to the rear socket on the

bottom right side of the machine (2).

3. Press the ON/OFF switch to ON to turn on power

and light (3).

For the USA and Canada

This sewing machine has a polarized plug (one blade wider

than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

plug is intended to À t in a polarized outlet only one way. If

the plug does not À t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If

it still does not À t, contact a qualiÀ ed electrician to install

the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

PACK AWAY AFTER SEWING

1. Press the ON/OFF (3) switch to OFF.

2. Unplug the cord from the wall socket and then from

the machine (2).

3. Unplug the foot control cord from the machine (1).

Pull the cord gently and release. The cord will retract

itself into the foot control.

4. Place all accessories in the accessory tray. Slide the tray

on to the machine, behind the free arm.

5. Place the foot control in the space above the free arm.

6. Place the hard cover over your machine.

SET UP 2:3

FREE ARM

Slide the accessory tray to the left when you wish to

remove it and use the free arm.

Use the free arm to facilitate sewing trouser legs and sleeve

hems.

To replace the accessory tray, slide it onto the machine until

it À ts in place.

SPOOL PINS

Your machine has two spool pins; a main spool pin and

an auxiliary spool pin. The spool pins are designed for all

types of thread. The main spool pin is adjustable and can

be used both in a horizontal position (the thread reels off

the spool) and a vertical position (the thread spool rotates).

Use the horizontal position for regular sewing threads and

the vertical position for specialty threads.

HORIZONTAL POSITION

Place a spool cap and the thread spool on the spool pin.

Make sure that the thread reels over the top. Slide on a

second spool cap, slightly larger than the thread spool.

The Á at side of the spool cap should be pressed À rmly

against the spool. There should be no space between the

spool cap and the thread spool.

VERTICAL POSITION

Lift the spool pin up and all the way to the right. Lock

the spool pin in the vertical position by slightly pressing it

down. Slide on the large spool cap. For spools smaller than

the medium size spool cap or when using specialty threads,

place a felt pad under the thread spool to prevent the

thread from reeling off too fast. For larger spools, the felt

pad is not needed.

Do not place a spool cap on top of the vertical spool pin as

it may prevent the spool from rotating.

Note: When the spool pin is used in the vertical position, the thread

tension might need to be adjusted manually.

AUXILIARY SPOOL PIN

The auxiliary spool pin is used when winding a bobbin

from a second spool of thread or for a second spool when

sewing with a twin needle.

Lift the auxiliary spool pin up and to the left. Slide on

the large spool cap. For spools smaller than the medium

size spool cap, place a felt pad under the thread spool to

prevent the thread from reeling off too fast. For larger

spools, the felt pad shall not be used.

2:4

THREADING THE UPPER THREAD

Make sure that the presser foot is raised and the needle is in

the up position.

1. Place the thread on the spool pin and the spool cap on

the spool as described on page 2:3.

2. Spool pin in horizontal position:

Bring the thread over and behind the pre-tension

thread guide (A) and under the thread guide (B).

Spool pin in vertical position:

Instead of bringing the thread into the pre-tension

guide (A), bring it directly under the thread guide (B).

3. Bring the thread down between the thread tension

discs (C).

4. Continue threading in the direction indicated by the

arrows. Bring the thread from the right into the slot on

the take-up lever (D).

5. Take the thread down and behind the last guide just

above the needle (E).

NEEDLE THREADER

The needle threader allows you to thread the needle

automatically. The needle must be in the up position to use

the Built-In needle threader. We also recommend lowering

the presser foot.

1. Use the handle to pull the needle threader all the way

down. The threader hook (G) swivels through the

needle eye.

2. Place the thread from the back over the hook (F) and

under the thread hook (G).

3. Let the needle threader gently swing back. The hook

pulls the thread through the needle eye and forms

a loop behind the needle. Pull the thread loop out

behind the needle.

Note: The needle threader is designed to be used for size 70-120

needles. You cannot use the needle threader for needles size 60 or

smaller, the wing needle, twin needle, triple needle or when the Sensor

One-Step buttonhole foot is attached. There are also some optional

accessories that require manual threading of the needle.

When threading the needle manually, make sure that the needle

is threaded from front to back. The bobbin cover can be used as a

magnifying glass to make threading easier.

THREADING FOR TWIN NEEDLE

Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle. Make

sure the presser foot is raised and the needle is in the up

position.

1. Lift the spool pin up and all the way to the right.

Lock the spool pin in the vertical position by slightly

pressing it down. Slide on the large spool cap. For

spools smaller than the medium size spool cap, place a

felt pad under the thread spool.

2. Place the À rst thread spool on the spool pin. The

spool should rotate in a clockwise direction when the

thread reels off the spool.

LEFT NEEDLE: Thread the machine as described on page

2:4. Check to ensure that the thread lies between the

left thread tension discs (A). Thread the left needle

manually.

4. Pull out the auxiliary spool pin and slide on the large

spool cap. For spools smaller than the medium size

spool cap, place a felt pad under the thread spool.

5. Place the second thread on the spool pin. The second

spool should rotate in a counterclockwise direction

when the thread reels off the spool.

RIGHT NEEDLE: Thread the machine as before but this

thread should lie between the right thread tension discs

(A) and outside the needle thread guide (B). Thread

the right needle manually.

Note: Activate and choose the correct needle width in Sewing Settings

in SET Menu to prevent damage on the needle or the presser foot.

THREAD CUTTER

There are three thread cutters on your machine. The À rst

one is close to the bobbin winder spindle (A) for cutting

the thread before and after winding. The second one is

next to the bobbin area (B) for cutting the bobbin thread

after placing it in the machine. The third one is on left side

of the machine (C) for manually cutting top and bobbin

threads. Pull both threads into the cutter from the back to

the front and pull down quickly.

THREAD SENSOR

If the upper thread breaks or bobbin thread runs out,

the machine stops and a pop-up message appears on the

screen.

If upper thread breaks: Re-thread the machine and touch

OK on the pop-up message. If bob bin thread runs out,

replace it with a full bobbin and continue sewing.

wind. A pop-up message appears on screen. To adjust

winding speed drag the arrow on the slider with your

stylus. Stop and start the bobbin winding with the

on-screen buttons. Hold the end of the thread À rmly

when starting to wind.

When the bobbin is full, the bobbin winder lever will

move back and the winding willl 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.

INSERTING THE BOBBIN

1. Remove the bobbin cover by sliding it towards you.

2. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case. It drops in only

one way with the logo facing up. The thread unreels

from the left of the bobbin. The bobbin will then

rotate counter-clockwise when you pull the thread.

3. Place your À nger on the bobbin to keep it from

turning as you pull the thread À rmly to the right and

then to the left into the tension spring (C) until it

“clicks” into place.

4. Continue threading around (D) and to the right of the

thread cutter (E). Slide on the bobbin cover (F). Pull

the thread to the left to cut (G).

NEEDLES

The sewing machine needle plays an important role in

successful sewing. Use only quality needles. We recommend

needles of system 130/705H. The needle package included

with your machine contains needles of the most frequently

used sizes.

Universal Needle (A)

Universal needles have a slightly rounded point and come in

a variety of sizes. For general sewing in a variety of fabric

types and weights.

Stretch Needle (B)

Stretch needles have a special scarf to eliminate skipped

stitches when there is a Á ex in the fabric. For knits,

swimwear, Á eece, synthetic suedes and leathers.

Embroidery Needle (C)

Embroidery needles have a special scarf, a slightly rounded

point and a slightly larger eye to avoid damage to thread

and materials. Use with metallic and other specailty threads

for embroidery and decorative sewing.

Denim Needle (D)

Denim needles have a sharp point to penetrate tightly

woven fabrics without deÁ ecting the needle. For canvas,

denim, microÀ bers.

Wing Needles (E)

The Wing needle has wide wings on the side of the needle

to poke holes in the fabric when sewing entredeux and

other hemstitches on natural À ber fabrics.

Note: Change the needle often. Always use a straight needle with a

sharp point (F).

A damaged needle (G) can cause skipped stitches, breakage

or snapping of thread. A damaged needle can also damage

the needle plate.

Do not use asymmetrical twin needles (H) since they may

damage your sewing machine.

THREADS

There are many threads on the market today developed for

different purposes.

All Purpose Sewing Thread

All purpose sewing thread is made of synthetic, cotton or

cotton covered polyester. This type of thread is used for

sewing garments and projects.

Embroidery Thread

Embroidery thread is made of various À bers: rayon,

polyester, acrylic or metallic. These threads create a smooth

glossy appearance for embroidery and other decorative

stitching.

When embroidering, use embroidery bobbin thread

because it is a À ne weight and will not build up under

embroidery.

Note: When using a metallic or a Á at À lm thread for embroidering,

you may need to use a needle with a larger eye and lower the

embroidery speed. Thread the sewing machine with the spool in the

vertical position.

Transparent Thread

Transparent thread, also called monoÀ lament thread, is

single clear synthetic thread. It is used for quilting and

other decorative sewing. Thread the sewing machine with

the spool in the vertical position. When winding a bobbin,

wind at slow speed and wind the bobbin half full.

Note:

Some fabrics have excess dye which can cause discoloration on

other fabrics or on your sewing machine. This discoloration may be

very difÀ cult or impossible to remove.

Fleece and denim fabric, especially red and blue, often contain excess

dye.

If you suspect that your fabric/ready-to-wear garment contains a

lot of excess dye, always pre-wash it before sewing/embroidering to

prevent discoloration of your machine.

STABILIZERS

Tear-Away Stabilizers

Tear-away stabilizers are used with stable woven fabrics.

Place underneath fabric for decorative stitching or hoop

with the fabric when embroidering. Tear away excess

stabilizer after stitching.

Iron-on Tear-Away

Iron-on tear-away is a totally stable stabilizer that has a slick

side that will iron on to fabric. It is recommended for knits

and all unstable fabrics. Fuse it to the wrong side of the

fabric before decorative stitching or hooping. Tear away

excess stabilizer after stitching.

Cut-Away Stabilizer

Cut-away stabilizer does not tear so the excess has to be cut

away. It is recommended for knits and all unstable fabrics,

especially for hoop embroidery.

Water Soluble Stabilizer

Water soluble stabilizer is placed on top of the fabric when

embellishing/embroidering napped and looped fabrics

such as terry cloth. When embroidering cutwork, use it

underneath the fabric. Place your work in water to dissolve

the excess stabilizer. It is available in different thicknesses.

Disintegrating Stabilizer

Disintegrating stabilizer is a stable, loosely woven fabric

that is used for techniques such as cutwork and to crochet

off the fabric edge. The stabilizer disappears with heat.

Sticky Stabilizer

Sticky stabilizer is used for hoop embroidery when the

fabric is too delicate or too small to be hooped. Hoop the

sticky stabilizer with the paper side up. Remove the paper

and stick the fabric onto the sticky surface. Tear away sticky

stabilizer after stitching.

PICTOGRAM™ PEN

Use an air or water soluble marking pen for embroidery and

Pictograms on all types of fabrics. The color disappears

after a few hours. You can also use cold water to completely

remove the markings. Make sure that all markings are

removed before ironing or washing with soap or detergent.

FABRIC SELECTION

Woven or Knit

The difference between woven and knit fabric is the way

the threads are put together. Woven fabrics are made of

two thread systems, warp lengthwise and weft crosswise,

that intersect at right angles. A knit fabric is made of one

thread system with interlaced stitches. A knit fabric usually

has stretch.

As a general rule, enter Woven for stable fabrics that have

no stretch and Stretch for fabrics that have stretch.

Suggested Fabrics

WOVEN LIGHT: chiffon, organza, batiste, silk, wool challis, etc.

WOVEN MEDIUM: calico, quilting fabrics, wool crepe,

broadcloth, etc.

WOVEN HEAVY: denim, wool suiting and coating, canvas,

terrycloth, etc.

D STRETCH LIGHT: charmeuse, nylon, tricot, single knit

jerseys, etc.

E STRETCH MEDIUM: double knit, velour, swimwear, etc.

STRETCH HEAVY: sweater knits, Á eece, etc.

Leather and Vinyl

Leather is animal skin with the coat (fur) removed. Leather

can be smooth or sueded and has some give.

G LEATHER: for suede and leather.

Vinyl is a synthetic material which often has a woven wrong

side. Vinyl can be smooth or patterned and some vinyls

have stretch.

VINYL: for vinyl and synthetic leather and suede.

the needle thread tension is too tight. Reduce the needle

thread tension.

If top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric, the

needle thread tension is too loose. Increase the needle

thread tension.

For decorative stitches and buttonholes the top thread

should be visible on the underside of the fabric.

RESIZE

Resize can reduce an embroidery design up to À ve times

smaller than the original design or increase it up to

eight times larger than the original design. The machine

recalculates the number of stitches in the design so the

original stitch density remains.

Note: To reduce or increase the design less than 20%, use Scale

function. The Scale function does not change the stitch count.

Resize Adjustments

Select the design you want to resize. Open the Resize

window. Adjust the design size by touching and dragging

on the screen or by using the Control. The size of the

design is shown in millimeters above the Control. To return

to the original size, touch the Control center icon. Adjust

the placement of the design in the hoop using Position and

Rotate.

Retain Fill Type

All À ll areas in an embroidery design are made in a speciÀ c

type to get the best effect. When enlarging or reducing a

design, the stitches in the À ll area will be affected.

There are two ways to handle the À ll type and style in the

design to be resized.

1. The default setting will not retain À ll type. This is the

fastest way to resize a design. However, the À ll areas in

the design may look different than the original.

2. When Retain Fill Type is selected, it will take longer to

resize but the process will retain the À ll types and styles

within the design areas. If greatly enlarging a design,

Retain Fill Type is recommended for best results.

To Start Resizing

When you are satisÀ ed with the design size and position,

touch OK to close the window and start resizing. An

hourglass on the screen shows that it is working. When

À nished, the resize window will close.

Touch Cancel to return to Embroidery Edit without

resizing.

IMPORTANT RESIZE INFORMATION

Since designs are digitized for a speciÀ c design size, it is important to

consider the following information about Resize. Always embroider a

test sample of your resized design before embroidering on a project.

• Resize is always proportional. If you reduce a design

30%, it will be 30% smaller in both length and width.

If the design is very detailed, some of it may be lost or

distorted, and/or it can be very dense. Some designs

should not be reduced more than 25% if they have too

many details.

• Designs can be increased larger than the hoop, so be

sure that the design À ts in the hoop. If the design is

larger than hoop size, the machine will not be able to

embroider it.

• If you are enlarging a design too much, you may see

stitch irregularities. Press the Control Center to return

to 100% and resize to a smaller percentage for a better

result. Depending on the memory left in the machine,

you may À nd some designs too complex to resize in

the machine. Please use 5D™ Embroidery Software to

resize very large and complex designs. It is available to

purchase from your local authorized dealer.

• Always start with the original design when resizing.

This is to ensure the best possible stitch quality. If a

resized design is saved, and then resized again, it can

cause stitch irregularities. For the best resize result,

always start with a design in original size.

• Depending on how much you resize a design and

how many stitches it contains, the resize process time

will vary. Resizing a very large or complex design may

take a few minutes. Once you touch OK, you cannot

cancel. You will need to wait for the process to be

À nished.

• It does not matter in which order you select functions

to adjust the size, rotation, mirroring etc. When you

touch OK, your machine always resizes À rst and then

adds the rotation, mirroring etc.

• It is recommended that you scale instead of resize to

change a design less than 20% and also for designs

digitized with single or triple stitches, such as cross

stitch embroideries. In this case, you do not want to

add stitches to the design, you only want to make the

design larger or smaller by making each original stitch

larger or smaller.

All colors in the loaded design(s) are shown in the order

they will be embroidered. Each listed color shows color

order and number. Also shown are the thread manufacturer,

À rst design loaded is thread number 2343 of Robison-Anton Rayon

40 weight. If you have questions about other abbreviations of thread

manufacturers, go to your 5D™ Embroidery Software ConÀ gure

program (installed with your Machine Communication program) and

EMBROIDERY STITCH-OUT POP-UP

MESSAGES

Embroidery Unit Calibration

When the embroidery unit is attached, a pop-up message

asks you to slide off the hoop and clear the machine area for

calibrating the embroidery arm. You will also be reminded to

snap on the embroidery presser foot R.

Note: It is very important to remove the hoop, otherwise the hoop or the

embroidery unit may be damaged while calibrating.

Attach Correct Hoop

If the size of the hoop attached to the machine does not

match the size displayed on screen, the machine will not

embroider. You must change the hoop to the displayed size or

change the hoop setting to match the hoop size attached.

The hoop needs to be inserted properly for the machine to

detect it. Slide the hoop connector into the hoop attachment

from front to back until it clicks into place.

You will not be able to go to Embroidery Stitch-Out without

the selected hoop attached properly.

Change Thread Color

When it is time to change the needle thread, the machine stops

and the upper thread is cut. Change the spool of thread and

re-thread the machine. The next recommended color number

is shown in the pop-up message.

Cut Thread End

After changing the thread, the machine will sew a few stitches

and then stop so you can cut the thread end.

Note: When Automatic Jump Stitch Trim is selected in the SET menu,

the thread end will be cut automatically. Simply remove the thread tail

that has been cut.

Bobbin Empty, move to Bobbin Position?

When the bobbin is almost empty, the machine stops

automatically and a pop-up message appears on the screen.

Touch OK to move to Bobbin Position. The hoop will move

away from you, allowing you to open the bobbin cover and

replace the bobbin. Replace the empty bobbin with a full

one and pull back excess needle thread. When the bobbin is

replaced, press the Start/Stop button to move the hoop back

and start embroidering where the embroidery stopped.

Note: If you want to move the hoop back to where the embroidery stopped

without starting to embroider directly, touch Current Stitch Position after

replacing the bobbin. When ready, start embroidering again by pressing

the Start/Stop button or the foot control.

Note: It is possible to embroider until the thread has completely run out.

Press the Start/Stop button to continue embroidering without closing the

bobbin empty pop-up message.

8:12

Check Needle Thread

The machine stops automatically if the needle thread runs

out or breaks. Re-thread the needle thread, close the pop-

up message, go back a few stitches using the Step Stitch-by-

Stitch control and start embroidering again.

Embroidery Is Finished - Clear Screen?

When the embroidery is À nished, the machine will ask

you if you want to clear the screen. If you touch OK, the

designs will be deleted and you will go back to Embroidery

Edit. Touch Cancel to get back to your design and stay in

Embroidery Stitch-Out.

Change to Cutwork Needle (optional accessory)

Some cutwork designs can be stitched out using the

optional accessory HUSQVARNA VIKING® Embroidery

Cutwork Needle Kit, (P/N 920268-096). These designs are

marked with a cutwork needle symbol in the DESIGNER

RUBY™ Sampler Book. When the machine stops and

this pop-up message is shown, insert the corresponding

cutwork needle. Touch OK and press the Start/Stop button

to resume.

Note: These cutwork designs can also be stitched out without the

cutwork needles, but will then have to be cut manually.

Main motor overloaded

If the machine is blocked when embroidering, the main

motor can get overloaded. When the main motor and

power supply are no longer overloaded, the OK button will

be enabled. Touch OK to resume embroidering.

DESIGN POSITIONING

Raise needle

When the needle is lowered with the handwheel to check the

needle position on the fabric, a pop-up message is displayed

when trying to adjust the hoop position. Check the box to be

able to À ne tune the hoop position with the needle lowered.

Note: Make sure the needle is above the fabric to prevent damage to

the needle and fabric.

Note: The warning cannot be disabled when the needle is below the

stitch plate.
