Here is a video about calibrating the Ruby 76. Yes, I know it is not the 90. Husqvarna Viking Designer Diamond 76 Calibrating the Embroidery Hoop - YouTube Well, the only thing you learned there is calibration was supposed to be automatic. Moving right along...
Make sure the embroidery module is seated, i. e. attached to the machine properly. Check that the fabric is tightly hooped and that the inner hoop matches the outer hoop.
There are plastic gears driving the unit that may break yielding a grinding sound. Fine wires in the unit may also break, rendering in inoperative. Such repairs call for a serviceman. No seeing the machine, it is difficult to know what the exact problem is.
I suppose you have used the user's guide built into the machine. It offers detailed instructions on calibration. My Sewnet offers a support link near the bottom of its page. The dealer locator is supplied for your convenience. My apologies for not being of more assistance. I am uncertain of the problem.

There are two kinds of dongles depending on the reader writer you are using...one looks like a stick with purplish handle the other looks nothing like that...it plugs into the back of your computer and looks like the cord that connects the hard drive to a monitor...it has a bunch of pins that match up with the back of the hard drive. Go on eBay and type in husqvarna Viking dongle to see a picture.
To recognize the 3D programmable card on the Husqvarna Rose sewing machine, you need to select the corresponding design number on the machine. The design number is usually located on the packaging of the 3D programmable card or in the software used to transfer designs to the card. Once you have identified the design number, enter it into the sewing machine using the keypad or touch screen.
I want to let you know that not all Husqvarna Rose models are compatible with 3D programmable cards. Check your machine's manual or contact Husqvarna customer support for more information.
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.

There is usually one source for this problem, and it's easy to fix. Take the end cap of your machine as if you were changing a light bulb. Now you are off...When you switch from straightstich to zigzag, the levers operate across and inside the body so that the needle shaft, you watch it going up and down, can also move sidesways (but only a few mm's (about 3/16 inch)) The needle shaft should both go left and right, freely. It is hinged at the top but half way down ththe shaft it "floats" in a two sided guide. This sounds complicated but it truly is NOT. What happens to neglected machines is that "gunge" forms in the sliding parts and stop the left and right deflections. You my need to prise open the shaft from it's guide to start with (be gentle) but a few drops of oil normally soon allows the needle shaft to slide side to side. When you can shake the needle shaft from side to side BY HAND (with the machine set in the zigzag mode) replace the end cap and start zigzaging. And in future oil your flaming sewing machine.....
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.
I don't have this machine, but mechanical items with moving parts need to be oiled. I would check in your users manual. It should give you a schematic on the places to oil. Use sewing machine oil so it doesn't get all gummy and cause more problems.
