Husqvarna Viking
How can I repair my Viking Husqvarna sewing machine Model 230 Electronic myself?
Normally, it runs very smoothly, but when it’s down, it’s always for the same issue and costs me $80 each time I take it in to be serviced. As I begin to sew, the needle tip will pull to the right slightly, catching the thread and fabric so tightly that I must yank it free, breaking the threads. It does this most often after I’ve been using an overlock type of stitch on a heavier fabric such as fleece or terry. I only use mettler metrosene or gutermann; this machine has never seen a cheap thread. I no longer have the manual. Any ideas or suggestions?
<<
How are you starting your seams? Do you hang on to the thread ends for the first few stitches? Do you start and end the seam with the needle fully up and the takeup lever also up? (Sorry, I don’t know this machine — but most of the newer Vikings automatically go to needle and takeup lever up when stopped — if this is an older machine, does it do so automatically?) (I’m wondering if the timing is off just enough to start a thread jam…)
What happens if you switch the machine fully off after using the overedge stitch and then turn it back on?
Are you using the correct needle (and newish!) for your overedge stitching on heavy fabrics? The right needle makes a lot of difference in the amount of force required to get it through the fabric.
Are you cleaning your machine well and often when working on linty or fuzzy fabrics? Are you using a vacuum, or compressed air (which tends to blow the lint in further instead of getting it out).
How long between sewing sessions? I find most machines seem to be happiest if I run them through their stitch repertoire for at least a few minutes every month — I suspect the sintered bronze bearings need it.
