Husqvarna Viking Presser Feet

You can probably use any zipper foot made for your machine.
This is what the E foot looks like, so one that is similarly shaped should work:

Just make sure the foot is adjustable (right or left) so you can avoid hitting the foot with the needle.

SOURCE: How to use a zipper foot please

  1. Step 1 To prepare the fabric for a centered zipper application, use the standard presser foot to baste the opening of the fabric shut using 5/8 inch seam allowance. Press the seam allowance open. Place the zipper teeth side down on the seam allowance and pin the zipper to the seam allowance only.
  2. Step 2 Release the standard presser foot from your machine. There may be a button or lever behind the foot that you need to press. Put the standard foot in its holder or someplace where it won’t get lost.
  3. Step 3 Decide which side of the machine you want to attach the zipper foot to. Zipper feet are asymmetrical, with one side that’s wider than the other. You’ll want to put the narrow side toward the zipper teeth, and the wider side away from the zipper teeth.
  4. Step 4 Attach the zipper foot to the sewing machine. You may need to line up the bar on the zipper foot with the presser foot holder, then lower the presser foot by lowering the lever. Raise the presser foot and make sure the zipper foot is securely attached.
  5. Step 5 Place the prepared fabric with the pinned zipper in the sewing machine. Lower the needle into the zipper tape and the seam allowance only, then lower the zipper foot. Stitch the zipper tape to the seam allowance. To sew the other side of the zipper to the seam allowance, remove the zipper foot from the sewing machine and install it on the other side of the presser foot holder.
  6. Step 6 Topstitch the outside of the fabric to each side of the zipper tape, making sure that the zipper foot is on the appropriate side of the machine for each side. Remove the basting with a seam ripper.

How do I slow my Husqvarna Viking 18 x8 down. It stitches fast and faster, never slow.

To slow down the stitching speed on your Husqvarna Viking 18 x8, you can try the following steps:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

I need a bobbin case with everything in the case for an Elgin Viking 2468 model also a welt cord foot if there is one I getting back into auto uphols. You know what the welt cord is, John Tyler

Suggest checking with your local Husqvarna Viking store for parts you need. A "welt cord" foot may not be available for your machine. Sewists will usually use a zipper foot since it can get the needle close to the welt cord.

Need invisible zipper foot

Two available, one metal and the other clear so you can see the zipper through it. Check with your local dealer for these feet.
Dealers of most premium brands of sewing machines are under contract with the manufacturer to not sell brand name products online. That way, you should always be purchasing from someone that can instruct you on how to use the product properly and make sure that you get the proper accessory for your model. No manufacturer wants an owner of their machine saying that an accessory foot doesn't work well or doesn't fit the machine properly. If a sewing machine store is selling parts online, you should always be aware that the part you get may not, in many cases, be a genuine brand name part. Don't be surprised if it doesn't fit or work properly.

I am trying to figure out if I have a zipper foot for my Husqvarna Freesia 415 sewing machine. They are labled by letter and I have A B C D E and J.

A quick check of a random Husky owner's manual cross references the letter to a part number in the appendix. Alternatively call Husky and get the info.
