I have a Husqvarna Viking Rose with a plus hoop. I would like to embroider with the plus hoop but I do not have the #15 embroidery card. Can I still make my own design and embroider without the #15 card? How do I get it to work when I save the design on a regular embroidery card?

Refer to your manual, it could mean the hoop is not making contact with the sensor or you are using the wrong size hoop for the selected design.

Check the upper tension unit to make sure you don't have any loose threads or fluff in the unit causing the tension not to hold taunt when the needle enters the bobbin area. Otherwise, find another dealer for service.

Good luck.

Hi!

You can find the solution by following these steps-


Slide in embroidery card 21 and companion cassette. Touch Embroidery ON.

Touch FUNC to Program mode, The “E” inside the hoop will appear on the left end of the Program display window. If Plus Hoop programming is desired, touch the rotational arrow E one time and you will see the hoop in the Programdisplay window change into a Plus Hoop with a small arrow pointing to the top portion of the hoop, indicating position 1.

Toward the right side of the Program display window are
F1 S1 M1. F1 = Font style (1, 2 or 3), S1 = Size (1 or 2) and M1 = Menu (1, 2 or 3).

FONT: Select 1. Palace Script 2. Clarendon (block) 3. Kalligraphia

(Note: Programmed letters are always displayed in block)

SIZE: Select 1. Large 30mm 2. Small 12mm
MENU: Select 1. Upper case, 2. Lower case, or 3. Numbers and Symbols—check Program display for upper or lower case indication.
Note: You must select the Font, Size and Menu before selecting the letter desired.
Do rate the solution accordingly.

Thanks
Rylee

embroider on #1+:
If it's a #1+ I recommend the Q (the spring works better) it's hard to put on, but worth it.
Here we go:
1>Turn off machine (always when installing or removing embroidery unit)
2>Install Q Foot. Always leave presser foot pressure (on left end of machine) at 6 for presser foot Q
3>Insert Embroidery Card
4>Insert Embroidery cassette (matching #’s with card)
5>turn on machine
6>Turn on embroidery unit (on cassette)
7>Select design
7>Thread for color 1
8>press reverse to start the machine embroidering....weeeeeeeee!

Could be the design you're trying to stitch out is eroded. Try rewriting the design to the card and see if that helps. If not, take your machine along with the embroidery unit, peddle, hoops, etc. to your tech for a once over. It may just need an adjustment.

The plus hoop is a multi positional hoop that allows you you to embroider designs up to 4" x 6". It is essential for monogramming and lettering using your Rose. The Rose hooping system is the same as the 1+, the Scandinavia 300 and 400.

The designs you use must be formatted for the plus hoop. That is, the design has already been divided into two or three elements. Each element is an individual design. For instance, say the design is a long stemmed rose. It would probably be divided something like this: design 1: the flower and the top part of the stem, design 2: The middle part of the stem and the leaves, design 3: the bottom part of the stem.

You would hoop up your fabric to be embroidered, attach the hoop to the machine, set the hoop to position 1, select design 1, stitch out design 1, set the hoop to position 2, select design 2, stitch out design 2, set the hoop to position 3, select design 3, stitch out design 3. You should have a complete design when you're done and everything should match up perfectly!

The hoop is divided up into three squares, 4" x 4". Position 1 square overlaps position 2 square and position 2 square overlaps position 3 square. This overlapping allows the designs to stitch out more smoothly.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions. Carrie

Check for loose threads or fluff in upper tension unit and bobbin case tension gauged to 14g resistence. Otherwise, service time I'm afraid. Have it serviced by an authorized Husqvarna Viking Service Technician.

Good luck.

You will need a keypad card that goes along with one of the original Husqvarna embroidery cards. This keypad gives you the controls for using the embroidery unit and selecting your designs.
