This is the best part. We're going to go ahead and get started with the accessories that
came with this machine and show you where they go in the accessory box. We're just going
to turn on the machine because it makes it so pretty when it lights up.
First off in your accessories is a stylus. That'll go right here. One thing I like to
do is actually put a little ribbon through the little eye there. It's easier to kind
of hold on to. Another thing that's roaming around that box is your buttonhole foot. Make
sure that you get that out. Your accessory box will just slide off the back of the machine.
We're going to show you where they all go.
There's also a few extra feet right here in an extra package underneath your presser foot
and also a little note about how to use your needle threader. We're just going to start
here. We've got a very large foot, the S foot. There's a few extra places here where that
foot will fit. Then we have an A foot on and a B foot. One thing I always say is when the
machine tells you what foot to use, you do want to follow along with the suggestions.
It really will make a better stitch.
You're going to have spool caps as well as spool caps on the machine right here. Got
different sizes, so depending on which size of spool you're using you want to make sure
you have the proper size. For example, I'm going to use that one with that spool. I'll
put anything that doesn't have a home kind of down in the bottom part here. A buttonhole
foot will fit down here.
Let me go ahead and pull out the majority of the smaller feet first here. There's one
extra foot that has a little ... I've got to show you this. See where on this side there's
a little tiny hole; there you go, you can see it. That is for your foot C. C has a little
extra length to it with that little extra nub. That is going to fit into that little
hole there and make sure that this will actually close later. If you put it in one of the other
ones it actually doesn't fit.
Your sensor Q foot, I'm going to just take it out of the little package here; that is
for embroidery, so it is the recommended foot for doing; when you're working with your embroidery
unit. Put that downstairs.
You're going to have a ton of bobbins. Bobbins are going to be specific for the Husqvarna
Viking machine, so make sure you're not mixing and matching. What's really nice, they have
a little H on them so you always know which way is up when we go to put them in the machine
and wind a bobbin. You'll have quite a few. We'll get them all out at that point so we
get them in here. People always ask me, "How many bobbins?" This machine does come with
a nice amount, an assortment here.
You also have a pack of needles in here. Just find the needles that work for you. I would
recommend a brand; the Inspira brand of needles. Here you're going to have universal, wing,
stretch, jeans and embroidery needles. Those are handy to have there.
This is one of the other larger feet. Sometimes I'll put it just where my S foot is. We have
an R foot. That's an embroidery foot also, or free motion foot. A J foot is an overlap
foot. You can put these in any order you'd like. Quarter inch foot; that one has more
of a number than a letter. That is great because those little red lines will show you where
your quarter inch mark is.
The white foot you have is a non-stick foot. Your sewing advisor will tell you, for example,
if you're working on leathers or vinyls that you'll need this foot because it will keep
the foot moving along your sticky fabric.
That's all my bobbins; one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten bobbins.
You also have a blind hem foot. That is letter D. Once again, your machine will tell you
which foot to put on here. A good standard foot is a clear V foot so it's easy to do
all your decorative stitches and then see where you're actually going there.
Screwdriver for getting in and taking out the throat plate.
This is a multi-purpose tool. This is great for a number of things. Number one, take a
look at that little hole there. It's shaped flat on the top. It is the perfect tool to
remove and insert your needle with. You just slide it up, loosen it, and then it will drop
in here. This will catch it and make it really nice.
Some thread nets. Those will go over the threads. If you have any that kind of want to slip
off the spool and get tangled around the base these can go on them. You actually have two
of those.
You have a seam ripper in here. Always good to have that. You can extend the handle by
putting the top on the base.
Cleaning brush; we'll talk about how often we need to clean this machine. You'll know
how important that is once you get started.
These are some non-stick stickers that you can actually put on the bottom of these other
feet to make them a non-stick foot like that white one that we talked about earlier. You
probably won't need them all the time, but when you do they will be right there for you.
You also have a seam guide. This will go ahead and fit onto the back here. You can unscrew,
slide that in and set that up for whichever distance from the need you want to follow.
That's nice that they give you all of those items and also a little screen cleaner. I'll
just leave that one in the packet.
Another thing you do have in here down in this corner, see those little holes? You have
a place for used needles or partially used needles to kind of hang out there instead
of roaming around the bottom of your accessory box.
Once that fits all the way back in here, you can close it and then that helps extend the
work surface when we're actually sewing. Up needle. It's kind of nice. You can get in
here with this up; get in it without even taking it off the machine.
Next we're going to get threaded up and see where you're going. There's also a USB stick.
I'll put that in my little accessory box back here too. It's going to have a little cord
that you can tie onto this so it's easy to handle and not lose when you're actually working
with the embroidery machine foot.
Sometimes when I'm actually embroidering and I have this in the side of the machine one
thing that I actually like to do is actually to tie it to the top of the handle and then
it doesn't actually run away. I'll fix that in a second; is just to do this, and then
that way it's always close by, plus it will reach the side right over here. That is also
nice. It's kind of tucked out of the way and then you always know where that is. For right
now I'm going to set that down underneath the feet in the accessory box.
