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:
- 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.

My husqvarna diamond keep telling me that it needs to rest. When I touch ok it makes hum the says need to rest. It wouldn't start sewing g
There could be a few different issues that could cause your Husqvarna Diamond sewing machine to display a "need to rest" message and not start sewing. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
Check the machine's power supply: Make sure the machine is plugged in and the power cord is securely connected to both the machine and the outlet.
Check the machine's threading: Make sure the thread is correctly threaded through the machine and the bobbin is correctly installed. If the threading is incorrect, it can cause the machine to stop sewing and display a "need to rest" message.
Check the machine's tension: If the tension is not set correctly, it can cause the machine to stop sewing and display a "need to rest" message. Try adjusting the tension and see if that resolves the issue.
Check for any debris or lint buildup: Lint and debris can accumulate in the machine and cause it to stop sewing. Clean the machine according to the manufacturer's instructions to remove any debris.
If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the machine is still not sewing, you may need to have it serviced by a professional. It is always a good idea to follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule and have the machine serviced regularly to keep it running smoothly.
How to fix Husqvarna Viking embroidery when thread keeps clogging up under needle plate?
I had the same issue, exactly. I changed the cutter blades and it got much better. It is not totally fixed. It gets clogged most when the embroidery has to move around with the same color...which would suggest that it is still not totallly working. I think it might have to do with the cutter arm not retracting enough or not being positioned correctly. I'm still working this, but I hope that it helps you. If you found an answer, please share! Thanks!
My Husqvarna Designer SE limited edition feed teeth won't move.
I have a machine with the same problem. I have an additional problem too, my zig-zag also does not work. I'm thinking the mother board is bad because both forward stitch and zig- zag stitch use a stepper motor, so the stepper motors are not receiving commands to move into position. Thus making me think the circuit board or boards there are two, are bad.
So, does your zig-zag work? If so, then maybe you have one stepper motor bad, the stitch length one
How to tread Viking Husqvarna h class 500 r
I can't find a Husqvarna Viking H Class 500 R. There is a 500E. Make sure that the presser foot is up and the needle is in the highest position. Use the hand wheel to move the needle by turning the wheel towards you. All machines follow a move from right to left, down, up, down threading pattern. Place the spool on the appropriate spool pin and put on the spool pin cap. First guide the thread around the thread guide to the left of the spool pin and then pull it down along the groove. Continue running the thread down the groove and then around the inside of the tab at the bottom. Bring the thread up to the thread take-up lever. Pass the thread through the thread take-up lever from right to left. Insert the thread in the left-most groove and bring it down to the thread guide. Guide the thread into the thread guide above the needle. To use the needle threader, lower the presser foot. Otherwise, push the thread through the eye of the needle from front to back. See the manual if you are using a vertical spool or a double needle. The needle threader can't be used with a size 60 needle or the multi-needle options.
For inserting the filled bobbin, raise the needle. Open the bobbin cover plate by pressing the release button to the right while pushing the left corner of the plate. Place the bobbin on the pin of the bobbin case with the bobbin rotating counter-clockwise when the thread is pulled gently. Pull the thread through the slot slightly to the left of the 6 o'clock position (12 hour clock) and then to the left. Gently hold the bobbin with a finger and pull the thread the second slot (near 8 o'clock). Pull out about 6" of thread heading towards the rear of the machine and replace the bobbin cover plate.
The manual for the H-Class 500E is available here:
https://www.husqvarnaviking.com/en-US/Machines/H-CLASS-500E . The current link to the manual is
https://www.husqvarnaviking.com/getattachment/Machines/H-CLASS-500E/HClass_500E_manual_EN_B.pdf.aspx . See page 11 (page 13 of the PDF) for threading the top thread. Page 15 (page 17 of the PDF) has the section on inserting the bobbin.
I hope this helps.

Can my old machine be fixed
If you are getting smoking and a burning smell DO NOT use it. It is a SERIOUS fire hazard. Yes, it is probably a burnt out set of brushes in the motor or the motor itself.
You also could have a problem with the pedal itself. it could be sticking in a pedal down position causing the continuous running of the motor. I would suggest you take both to Good repairer and he will be able to give you a price for repair. 50 is a good age and parts might be difficult to find. Keep in mind, once you get 3 or 4 quotes, it might be cheaper to replace rather than repair.

If it continues to forward stitch while button pressed, see following repair video.https://youtu.be/n_ue2C3iRFk
