Introduction

The needle on a sewing machine may need to be replaced for a variety of reasons, but the main reason is typically due to damage. Oftentimes, needles break due to user error, including using a fabric that is too thick for that particular needle or threading the needle incorrectly. Regardless of the cause, knowing how to replace a needle is a must for all seamstresses. This guide will provide users with that knowledge, as it relates specifically to the Husqvarna Viking Designer 1 sewing machine.

    • Remove the thread from the needle by pulling it out.

    • Turn the knob counterclockwise to life up the needle.

    • Turning the knob clockwise can damage the machine.

    • Place a sheet of paper under the foot. In the event that the needle falls out, this will prevent it from falling into the bobbin area.

    • Hold onto the needle with one hand, and use a Singer #412381501 screwdriver to loosen the needle clamp screw (model: Viking #4125825-01) located next to the top of the needle with the other hand.

    • Discard the broken or unwanted needle, and select a new one.

    • Hold onto the needle with one hand, and use a Singer #412381501 screwdriver to tighten the needle clamp screw (model: Viking #4125825-01) with the other hand.
