I have not used the machine for awhile. I went to use it and the needle is off centered to the left at 0 mm stitch width. At 5 mm stitch width, it was almost centered. I tried sewing with it at 5 mm, but it didn't work. It was a birds nest. The needle was replaced.
Did you change the stitch selection, or have it on a stitch that is too wide for the foot that is attached?

Hi emnsam....please update your post with the complete Model Number in it's entirety and I will be able to advise you.
SOURCE: needle stuck in right position, will only sew tiny,tiny stitches
oil it. down the shaft if you can get to it. and where ever there is a hole it always helps.

Check that it is threaded correctly (both top and bottom) making sure that the upper thread is in the takeup lever and the bobbin is guided through the tension spring in the bobbin case. Watch the needle as you slowly turn the handwheel counter clockwise (toward you) and the needle point touches the fabric (make sure presser foot is down). Is the thread still relatively taunt? If it is loose, the upper thread tension unit does not have enough tension. Check the areas where the thread goes and make sure you remove any loose threads or fluff which could be inhibiting the tension discs from closing over the thread. If the tension unit still is not tightening enough, the tension unit may need to be replaced or the circuit board replaced. If everything is ok in the upper thread area, now look at the bobbin area. With no fabric, watch as the needle enters the bobbin area. Does it go down and the upper thread catch the bobbin thread and pulls it to the surface? Check for anything preventing the bobbin thread from being pulled up to the surface through the needle plate. If you have still not been able to resolve the problem suggest you take it to an authorized husqvarna viking dealer for service. You can locate a dealer near you by visiting the husqvarna viking website and clicking on the Dealer link on the left-hand side of the page - http://www.husqvarnaviking.com
Good luck.

look at the cam gear. This is the unit that the cam connects to. It could have a crack or be split completely. If there is a crack the cam stack will have to be replaced. The parts are hard to get and a good technician is needed.

There is a presser foot pressure dial on the left end of the machine, make sure it is on 3 or higher.
