Husqvarna Viking Service Manual models 0210 to 6460This comprehensive technical service manual has been written to meet the ever increasing requests for knowledge by Viking technicians. AnonymousShifted cam gear (Model 6030) and ended up with the zig-zag out of sync, i.e. Needle doesn't reach it outermost sideways position until it's well past the fabric and down in the bottom position = makes a sideways sliding through the fabric. The cam lobes lift about 45 degrees too late.Cam ridges are exactly in line with the ridges on the pattern cam ridges, so the cam should be OK.Is this described in your service manual? Any idea how to adjust?
(other than trying to adjust the cam followers).
I just posted about this Brother Computer Sewing Machine I was considering for purchase and got some great feedback.I decided to see if anyone had an opinon about Huskystar sewing machines. I just got back from my local sewing store. My local sewing shop HATES Brothers and Singers. Well, in the owner's words he said, 'I don't like crap in my store! And I don't want to fix crap. We haven't had a problem with the Huskystars. Nobody brings them in to get fixed.'
Also according to him, Singer filed for bankruptcy and hasn't been in business in 25 years. I don't know who to believe!Anyway, so the cheapest machines they have are the Huskystar E10 and E20 which are about ($150 and $200) respectively. I tested the E10 out and it seems ok. I mean I was just sewing a little piece of cloth so I'd really find out after using it for a while. Seems like the motor is strong and it feels fine.

But I haven't gotten to test a lot of machines out. There's only about 15 stitches to pick from in the E10, but that's fine. I'm not much of a stitch whore.What's cool is unlike buying a Brother machine for $140 online, is that I get a free sewing class, can take it to them for fix ups, and a 10 year warranty.The only reviews I could find online were for the really expensive Huskystars- the $400 kind.I'd love any feedback from people who love or hate their Huskystars. Especially if you have the E10 or E20.Thanks!!!Logged.
I'm a quilting tutor and I've seen A LOT of sewing machines over the years (and used them). There is a HUGE advantage in buying a machine that comes with lessons - go to all the free lessons you can get. I am constantly amazed at how many people think they know how to use their machines but don't(because they've never had lessons).
Every brand is different, and frequently every model is too.What I've figured out is that most of the reputable brands have produced some fabulous models over the years and some reputable brands have had some really sucky models. Wow, this is so so so helpful!!! I have a good feeling about huskystar, especially what you say about how they make their machines in the store. You seem to know more about them than what i can find online. I think I may go with the E20, it's just $50 more to get more stitch opetions and a ONE step button hole.
I am going to see how some of the huskystars on ebay go for. They seem to be really cheap (relatively) on ebay, but no warranty unfortunately.Yes, free lessons! Sounds good!Thanks thanks!!!!Logged. Yeah, I had a look at the husqvarna site and huskystar is their entry level machine.
As I said, I've never seen one, so don't know anything about them (ask where they are made! It'd be a real downer if it was the ONE model they make in China!!!

There goes my cred.!) If you could get a secondhand Platinum for the same money as a new huskystar you'd be doing REALLY well because they are excellent, but they're probably too new to be available seconhand yet.The other thing I forgot to say was that any shop worth its salt will let you sit at the machine and try it yourself before you buy. And I don't mean two seconds on a handkerchief sized piece of cloth. Try the buttonhole and any stitching that represents what you'll be using it for.Good luck!« Last Edit: June 09, 2006 08:03:16 PM by kirstyd »Logged.
