Hi i have a similar issue when the pedal is pressed a little the machine runs fast but as you press harder to go faster the machine slows and sound like its straining, think this is the foot pedal how did you get on?Hi i have a similar issue when the pedal is pressed a little the machine runs fast but as you press harder to go faster the machine slows and sound like its straining, think this is the foot pedal how did you get on?

To slow down the stitching speed on your Husqvarna Viking 18 x8, you can try the following steps:
Check the machine's manual: First, consult the manual that came with your Husqvarna Viking 18 x8 machine. The manual should have instructions on how to adjust the stitching speed.
Adjust the stitch length: One way to slow down the stitching speed is to adjust the stitch length. A shorter stitch length will slow down the machine's stitching speed. Refer to your machine's manual for instructions on how to adjust the stitch length.
Change the foot pressure: Another way to slow down the stitching speed is to change the foot pressure. Reducing the foot pressure can help slow down the machine's stitching speed. Again, refer to your machine's manual for instructions on how to adjust the foot pressure.
Use a different presser foot: Some presser feet are designed for slower stitching speeds. You can try using a different presser foot to slow down the machine's stitching speed.
Use a speed control pedal: Some machines come with a speed control pedal that allows you to adjust the machine's stitching speed. If your machine has a speed control pedal, try using it to slow down the stitching speed.
If none of these steps help slow down the stitching speed on your Husqvarna Viking 18 x8, you may need to contact a professional technician for assistance.
Have you changed the type of needle--top stitch, embroidery, microtex? Sometimes that will help. Also, my skipped stitches occur in FMQ because the fabric is moving too fast for the machine speed or I have a jerky movement. It helps me to try slowing down the fabric movement or speed up the machine and practice making smooth, consistent movement. I've never done FMQ with a needle larger than an 80/12, so you might try a smaller needle to reduce the fabric grabbing the thread.
check your bobbin and is the needle good and sharp and the proper length.make sure its not bentthe tiniest defectt n a needle can mess up any stitch.
how does it work on regular stitching.
most problems with machines involve.bad needles incorrect threading of bobbin or spool,dirty bobbin,incorrect needle.
it sounds like the needle isnt catching the bobbin thread.
hope this helps
Do you have the bobbin in correctly? Clockwise or counterclockwise...
Is the needle in correctly? It could be backwards.
Rethread the bobbin if the thread is not wound on properly...too fast makes the thread too tight, too slow and it can wrap onto the bobbin in a haphazard way.
Check to be sure have the correct needle for your machine...matches stitch etc..
If your machine is electronic...turn it off so it goes back to any default settings.
seems like a lot, but one little thing...
If the fabric is puckering when you sew, it is most likely because the thread tension is too tight. Make sure you are using a brand-new needle compatible with your fabric--using a 70 or 80 needle and a lighter weight thread may work better as a 90 or higher needle is big enough that it can stretch the fabric before penetrating it, causing puckering.. Puckering also occurs more frequently when sewing light-weight fabrics and may necessitate using a walking foot or a stabilizer to help give the fabric more body as it is stitched (wash-away stabilizer would probably be good when sewing washable fabrics). Another thing that may cause puckering is when the bobbin is wound at a fast speed. Slowing down when winding the bobbin will reduce the amount of stretch added to the bobbin thread. If it is stretched going onto the bobbin, it will shrink back up when it is stitched to your fabric. Also check whether your machine has a presser foot pressure adjustment. The pressure should be lighter when sewing finer fabrics, ie silk, and heavier when sewing thicker fabrics like wool or denim.
Might be that you need to lower the tensions quite a bit, you'll have to juggle with top and bottom tensions though, and experiment for just this operation with the Sensormatic.
