Could be needle/hook timing. With machine off do the following to check timing -
remove bobbin and bobbin case.
push needle all the way to the left.
Turn handwheel toward you watching the needle and bobbin housing hook. The point of the hook should line up right above the eye of the needle.
If not timing, clean bobbin area and thread cutter area, removing lint and thread.
Check bobbin tension, should get slight resistance when pulling thread.
Make sure using only Husqvarna Viking bobbins -- most are green but they have new colors now. All will have the Husqvarna logo on them (an H). Make sure the bobbin is unwinding counter clockwise when going through the bobbin case.
Remove fabric. Pull extra long bobbin thread (about 3 inches). Hold upper thread tail in left hand, turn handwheel toward you for 1 revolution. Is the bobbin thread caught by the top thread and pulled through the opening of the needle plate?
If you are still unable to sew without thread balling up, take to an authorized Husqvarna Viking dealer for service or have them send to Husqvarna Viking (SVP) Technical Service Dept for repair. A list of dealers close to you can be found at the Husqvarna Viking website -

Good luck.
My needle fell out an caused a jam, the needle and pin both came out easily but now my needle won't pick up the bobbin thread. I changed the needle, took apart my bobbin apparatus and cleaned it. Still won't pick up bobbin thread. I was thinking it is a timing issue and would love to know how to fix this at home, I'm an 1 & 1/2 hours from a repair shop. Husqvarna 1100 Thanks. Cindy
not the exact model of husqvarna, but I am having issues of my machine doing a very, very mild zig-zag stitch when I am in straight running stitch and the needle is positioned on the very far right. I was told it might be a timing issue, but after checking it with another website, I think the timing is okay. It is picking up stitches and running great otherwise. Thanks, Priscilla
