Have you changed needle type? Is the needle lock screw out far enough to allow the needle to go up high enough?

Are you sure the cords are not broken inside the wiring? It happens to lots of electronic things.

Hi, can I suggest that, if the machine was purchased near your home, that you contact the supplier for some information / support in finding needles. If you have tried this to no avail then try you enquire with a sewing machine supplier as to compatible parts...there must surel, be some that fits which is made by another manufacturer.

Use either a metal or newer plastic bobbin. The off brand bobbins sometime stick and a used bobbin will wear out or melt a bit from use. New bobbin! Good luck!

Your chosen stitch doesn't match the foot you have attached... I'd too wide, to long, etc....

look on the left side of the machine and see if you see a little round plastic circle, very very carefully use a screw driver to pry it out , there should be a screw to unscrew and the side should come off so you can replace the bulb. if you will send me a comment with the complete name and model number, I'll see if I can find you a manual.

if the balance wheel is moving round okay manualy it could be but it could be thread lock or just a tiny bit of fabric stuck in the workings

I have a different model Viking with a feed dog button to the left of the power button. When it's pressed down, the feed dog stays in the "down" position. Press it again to bring the feed dog up.

make sure the plug for the foot pedal is connected securely to the machine. could be the plug in the machine has a problem even tho the foot petal is plugged in could be the foot petal has gone out and needs to be checked.

is it just the needle or the whole shaft? I would try 1 make sure the presser foot is correct one for the stitch,2 changing needle, 3 rotate shaft (needle out)manually slightly pull forward on shaft.it might have come disengaged

Hello Contact your local reputable sewing machine retailer for a correct replacement. Happy Sewing.

Hello It sounds like you are trying to balance the top and bobbin thread so it locks perfectly. If so, this is accomplished by balancing the thread "tension". If you see loops on the underside of the fabric, tighten (increase) the tension. If loops for on the top, lower the tension. If the fabric is puckering: reduce the stitch length AND you may need to use a finer needle along with finer thread in the bobbin and on top. Presser foot pressure is rarely adjusted, unless sewing with extremely variable fabrics. For example, pressure is lowered when sewing with silk chiffon as it transports easily under the presser foot (and to prevent damage to the fragile fabric). Whereas pressure is increased when sewing with tent canvass to allow the feed dogs to be able to 'grip' and move the fabric. Happy Sewing!

Customizing Plus is approximately 10 years old. At that time it was run on Windows ME or comparable.

When you use twin needles you have to put thread in two different slots in the tension disc.

If it's a Huskylock Serger it means the machine is in a "bind," possibly think fabric, etc. The motor is "overloaded" and shuts down. If it continues after serving for a short time on normal fabric the motor needs to be rebuilt or replaced. See a local Viking Service Tech for repair or motor replacement. If it is a Sewing/Embroidery Machine it may still be an issue with the motor but could also be the main control board or power supply. Again see a local Viking Service tech for repair.

Check with your authorized Viking dealer to see what they can do for you. you may have to purchase 6D software.

sometimes the cutter doesnt leave a long enough tail to start sewing, and the needle wont pick it up, use a diferent thread in bobbin, sometimes thats the issue, or manually extend the thread from the bottom and then start sewing, it will pick it up then

Do it step by step taking photos of how it looks before you take parts off so that you can put them back the same way
