We have two of the Husqvarna Viking Emerald 118 sewing machines.
To begin sewing you need to have threaded machine and bobbin with thread that matches or compliments your piece. The photos below provide further explanation. After having pinned your materials together and selecting your stitch type, align your material to the machine and don’t forget to reach around to the back to lower the presser foot onto your material. The machine will not sew properly with the presser foot in the ‘up’ position and if something is going wrong this is often why. Also remember to reverse at the beginning and end of your stitches to strengthen them so they don’t un ravel.
