Try adjusting balance... see page 14.

When pattern "8" is sewn with the feed balancing dial D at the normal setting mark (?) the
sewn pattern should be as indicated in the mark 0 in the following figure.
1. Set the adjustable pattern mode.
(Turn on the power switch while pressing the reverse button. Choose pattern 8
within 2.5 seconds. Display screen should read "CHECK PATTERN 8").
2. Set the feed balancing dial at normal setting mark (?)
3. Depress the controller. (Eight patterns "8" will be sewn and stop automatically).
4. Remove the base. (See page 2).
5. Adjust the stretch stitch feed balance by turning the adjusting screw D in direction A or B.
6. Attach the base (See page 2)
Note: If you know the position of adjusting screw C, this adjustment can al so be made by
removing only the oblong metal plate on the base cover.

Reload the design you are trying to sew. Needle breaks can trigger circuit protection and affect the design being sewn from being saved in machine's memory properly..

sounds like the computer is mal-functioning, have you tried turning it off & turning it back on again to see if it clears the computer?

you will need to have stabiliser behind the fabric to give it stability for any type of machine embroidery.

Look for a product called "stitch and tear" or "solvy" which washes away in water after you've completed the stitching.

Also, consider using machine embroidery thread for this task, its silky and gives a lovely sheen.

I've always used an embroidery hoop to hold the layers all together for monogramming so things don't slip.

I'd suggest you google "machine embroidery" or try www.sewing.about.com and see if there are other machine embroidery tips there.

Have you seen the tips at this site - http://www.emblibrary.com/el/elprojects/holder.aspx?page=techniques

Scroll down to "mid the gaps" to see if their suggestions will help you.

Some designs stitch out better than others.

Under submenu "Help" you can find different manuals and tutorials that describe all features. "Outline Edit" is intended for modifying the embroidery objects that were created by the native software (for example text blocks or AutoPunch Wizard result). With "Stitch Edit" you can modify specific stitches of any designs.

Main menu->Edit->Outline Edit and Stitch Edit
or two first buttons on the second line of the main toolbar or hotkeys "E" and "X".

I am pretty sure you can download Disk 100 free from the Husqvarna Viking website. This has all the embroideries that came free with the machine, plus the alphabets (I think!). You can download this direct to your PC or to a set of floppies, depending on what your Designer needs and what support software you have (or have not) got. If you have no Husqvarna software at all, your PC will not be able to read the floppy. It is in .shv format which PCs are unable to read, being an embroidery machine language only.
If you are trying to open the faulty disk in your Disk Manager software, I always found it worked better if I didn't put the disk in the floppy drive of the computer until after I had already opened Disk Manager.
Hope some of the above is useful to you.

The speed could be if the satin stiches are to wide, than the machine reduce speed to get a good result.
How is the speed of the embroidery when it does fill stitch (small stitches)?

Not shure about the bobbin winder, but to check this its nessesarry to get inside the machine.

No it is not possible. If you invent a hoop to do this you will become richer than Bill Gates. When you want to do embroidery on a pocket, you have to remove the pocket first, do the embroidery and stitch the pocketback onto the shirt.

Sad but true.
