For setting up the brand new Husqvarna Viking designer Ruby Royale you're going to want
to take the foot control ... it's got a retractable cord ... pull it as far as you need it.
Then, of course, once you want to pack it up, just a little pull will retract that all
the way out, which is wonderful.
I love not having so many cords running around underneath where my foot is.
Foot control goes here.
Your power cord goes in.
You want to put your machine plugged into a surge protector.
Try not to just plug it into the wall.
A surge protector is nice, but also a battery backup is actually even better.
I'm going to go ahead and just put that foot control where it's best for you.
We're going to go ahead and get started by threading the machine.
What you want to do is make sure that presser foot is up.
I kind of bumped the foot control when I put it on the floor here so it lowered.
Make sure that is up.
We also have thread in the machine right now.
With you taking this out, instead of pulling that spool all the way out, let's go ahead
and get in the habit of trimming our thread and pulling it out the needle.
That's going to always make sure that you have as much lint not backtracking up through
all those important parts of the machine.
We also have a bobbin already in here so we're going to show you how to wind a bobbin and
then get sewing right away.
I'm just going to take out a brand new bobbin here.
Now, the green bobbins are the ones that come with the machine.
There are a variety of colorful bobbins that you can get.
All of them still will have the "H" for Husqvarna Viking on there.
I'm going to show you how we're going to do this.
We're going to take a spool of thread.
This is brand new so I'm just going to poke a little edge.
I don't like that sticker on some I'm going to make sure that gets off and then go ahead
and put a spool cap on.
This thread is actually a cross-wound thread so I want it to actually come off this spool
from the tip, so that's why we're going to lay it down.
There's two ways to actually wind a bobbin.
You can come all the over the silver bar here and underneath the pre-tensioner.
It's key that you actually click that it in, so hold it and pull so it goes underneath
the pre-tensioner and over to the bobbin winder.
The other way that you can wind a bobbin is once you have the machine threaded you can
go from the needle up across it and it brings the thread right across here and over and
follow the same directions.
Now take your thread and from the inside to out through the bobbin hole go ahead and thread
the thread.
We have the "H" on the top so it's coming out the top here, and when I put that bobbin
on and push the bobbin winder engaged, the screen comes up.
The screen is going to allow you to adjust the speed for winding a bobbin.
I'm going to hold this straight up and just touch the play button, or the go button.
A lot of times I'll just hold this until it breaks off.
It breaks off really easy.
If you want to slide that down you can use your finger or the stylus too, whichever works
best for you.
It's going to stop when it's done.
Once it's done you can lift it up and then just go ahead and use the cutter at the top.
That will allow you to cut the thread, not need little scissors.
We're going to do a close-up of putting the bobbin in.
There is just a little, tiny part sticking up from when the thread broke off.
I'm going to make sure that gets clipped off so it doesn't interfere with the way the machine
works.
We're going to slide that in.
There's a little groove.
We're catching it.
Click!
Then up and over the top and down underneath.
Before I cut the thread right here, I'm going to put the door on, then pull.
Leaves it to the perfect length for when we start to sew.
When we are threading the machine we do not use the pre-tensioner, so undo that and then
hold your thread in your right and left hand.
Your left hand is going to thread the machine.
Bring it straight down.
Now there's going to be a little fin in here.
It actually doesn't matter which side you go on.
It's there for when we thread for a twin needle, or double needle.
One thread will go on one side and one goes on the other.
A commonly asked question: does it matter which side that goes on?
It does not.
What I want you to do is, after you get down here I want you to just floss the thread just
gently and that makes sure that it sits itself into the deluxe stitch system, which is all
right in here, like the tensions, where it proportions the thread perfectly for the stitch
that you're taking based on your thread.
It's very, very smart.
We'll also do a close-up of how the needle-threader works.
It's going to pull that thread right on through.
Before I stitch all I need to do is put my thread underneath the foot and either to the
side or to the back.
Let's go ahead and get started.
I'll show you how it's going to look once we get going.
All you need to do is put your fabric underneath your presser foot and start to sew.
As soon as you step on the foot control that foot is going to lower.
As it lowers it's going to start off with a couple locking stitches and then it's going
to go ahead and sew.
Once you are to the end of your fabric you can actually
touch the selective thread cutter or scissors on this front panel.
It will cut the thread and lift the foot up for you and let you pull the thread right
on out.
You have a perfect seam right from the beginning.
When you thread the machine correctly and you put your bobbin in correctly you will
have accurate results for every time you sit down.
