#22 - Free Motion Stitching
1
2
When stitching free motion on your DESIGNER DIAMOND
deLuxe™ you have two choices, Free Motion Floating or Free Motion Spring Action. Which one you select depends on the foot you
are using.
The following feet require Free Motion Floating:
R Foot
Clear Open Toe
Free-Motion Foot #412860645
Free Motion Guide Foot
#412576445
Yarn Couching Feet Set
#920215096
22 - Free Motion Stitching
1
The following feet require Free Motion Spring Action:
3
Sensor Q-Foot
4
Open Toe Free Motion
Spring Foot #413037646
To set your DESIGNER DIAMOND deLuxe™ for
Free Motion:
In Sewing Mode, Touch Free Motion Technique icon. In the pop-up
choose either Free Motion Floating or Free Motion Spring Action.
5
NOTE: When sewing with Free Motion the machine will
automatically use Thread Tension instead of Thread Portioning.
Free Motion Floating:
Free Motion Floating allows the foot to “float” just above the surface of the fabric. When you begin sewing at a slower speed, the foot
will “hop” up and down as the stitch is formed. As you stitch more
quickly, the foot goes into floating mode and stays there.
It is possible to adjust the height at which it is “floating” above the
fabric. This is called the Pivot Height.
6
To adjust the Pivot Height:
Touch Free Motion Technique icon in Sewing Mode.
7
When choosing Free Motion Floating in the pop-up, the Pivot
Height adjustment is visible. The default is set at 0. Touch the + to
raise the foot up, further away from the fabric. Touch the - to move
the foot down, closer to the fabric.
8
Because fabric thickness varies, you may need to adjust the Pivot
Height. If you see the fabric “bouncing” and your thread is breaking,
touch the - to lower the foot. If your foot is “clamping” down too
hard on the fabric making it difficult to move, touch the + to raise it
up giving the fabric more clearance to move.
2
9
Free Motion Spring Action:
Free Motion Spring Action allows the foot to hold the fabric taut as
the stitch is being formed and rise up after the stitch has been made.
You will find that the Pivot Height is not active when Free Motion
Spring Action has been chosen because it is not applicable.
Which to Use?
The choice to use Floating or Spring Action is largely a personal
choice when doing basic free motion stitching.
1. The Sensor Q-foot is useful when working on thick, fabrics or
layers of fabrics. Always use this foot when sewing with Free Motion
Spring Action. The spring action holds the fabric taut as the stitch
is being formed. The Sensor Q Foot is designed to be used either in
free motion sewing or in embroidery.
1.
2.
2. The “R” Foot is the basic Free Motion foot that comes with your
DESIGNER DIAMOND deLuxe™.
10
3. The Clear Open Toe Free Motion Foot is an optional accessory
that is very useful when the floating position is desired and you need
to follow a line. The open toe in the front gives the best visibility.
4. The Free Motion Guide Foot has a grid, making it easy to do echo
quilting. The large surface of the foot keeps the fabric down, out of
the way of the needle when using a “puffy” batting.
3.
4.
5. The Yarn Couching Feet are specialty feet for couching yarn.
6. The Open Toe Spring Foot is used the same as the Sensor Q Foot,
but is open in the front making it easier to see.

18
19
20
Make a “quilt sandwich” from two layers of cotton fabric with batting between them.
Snap on your “R” Foot.
When sewing free motion, you are moving the fabric. Run the
machine moderately fast. You may want to touch the START/STOP
and slow your DESIGNER DIAMOND deLuxe™ down one notch.
Then sew with the foot control fully depressed to have an even
speed.
Begin with long thread tails both top and bobbin. Tap your foot control once to lower the needle and bring it back up. This allows you to
bring your bobbin thread to the top. Hold the thread tails and stitch
in place for a few stitches. Stop and trim the tread tails.
Then begin by stitching back to front, then side to side. Practice
loops and even write your name! You are controlling the stitch
length by how you move the fabric. Practice for consistent movement of the fabric and speed of the machine.

#23 - Designer Cutwork
1
Cutwork on your Husqvarna Viking DESIGNER DIAMOND
deLuxe™ can be done two different ways. The first, is to cut out the
area, using your small scissors that came with your DESIGNER
DIAMOND deLuxe™. The Second is to use Cutwork Needles. You
can only use the cutwork needles on designs that were digitized for
use with the Cutwork Needles.
Traditional Cutwork:
Traditional cutwork designs use these symbols to indicate that they
are cutwork designs.
2
The first symbol is showing that the area to be cut will first be
stitches. The second is showing the fabric being cut. The third is
showing the cut area, satin stitched. Heavy Weight water soluble
stabilizer such as INSPIRA® Aqua-Magic is the preferred stabilizer.
Your DESIGNER DIAMOND deLuxe™ has two cutwork designs.
They are 40 and 95. On the Classic Collection CD, there are also
these cutwork designs, 28, 29, 104, 105, 107 and 108.

Color 5 completes the satin stitching.
Cutwork Using the Cutwork Needles:
There are four needles in each Husqvarna Viking® Embroidery
Cutwork Needle Kit. The needles are color coded #1 red, #2 yellow,
#3 green and #4 blue.
19
The embroidery designs you use with INSPIRA® Cutwork Needles
must be digitized for use with the needles. You cannot use them
with cutwork designs that have not been digitized for INSPIRA®
Cutwork Needles. This symbol will be on the embroidery package
or download page telling you that it has been digitized for use with
these needles.

20
Fabrics:
Most fabrics that are suitable for traditional cutwork will work with
the Embroidery Cutwork Needle Kit. The ideal fabric is a woven,
natural fiber fabric such as cotton or linen. Knits work well, if
stabilized. See “Fabric Preparation” below for details. Try stitching a
sample embroidery before starting on your actual project. On some
fabrics, the needles may snag the fabric as they cut. The needles will
last a long time depending on the fabric used and other factors, especially when used with natural fiber fabrics. Individual replacement
needles are available if one gets damaged or dull.
The part number #620 09 01-96 is for a replacement package containing the four different needles.
The part number #920268-096 is for the Embroidery Cutwork Needle Kit which contains needles, CD with instruction movie and
5 designs, Multi Purpose Tool and instruction to get you started.
21
Fabric Preparation for stretch fabric:
Any fabric that stretches needs to be stabilized before beginning your
embroidery. This includes any fabrics like T-Shirt Knit, as well as
fabrics like Denim which have a certain amount of give, due to the
way it is woven. Any fabric with lycra® in it needs to be stabilized.
To stabilize the fabric:
1. Place the “glue” side of INSPIRA® Light & Soft Fuse-On
stabilizer on the wrong side of the fabric.
2. Press with a dry iron to fuse in place.
Hooping:
1. Select the hoop appropriate for the size of the embroidery design.
22
2. Select the appropriate INSPIRA® Stabilizer for the design and
fabric. Heavy weight water soluble stabilizer is the best choice for
most cutwork. It disappears completely from the back of the fabric.
Cut-Away for knits or a Tear-A-Way for wovens can also be used.
Hoop the stabilizer with your fabric. The first stabilizer used will be
cut cleanly away by the Cutwork Needles. The final stabilizer used,
after the cutwork needles cut the fabric should be water soluble so it
does not leave any “frizzy” edges sticking out of the satin stitching.
3. Slide your hoop onto your embroidery unit.
4
23
Stitching:
1. For an even better result it is recommended that you use the
Straight Stitch Plate and Sensor Q-foot when stitching designs with
INSPIRA® Cutwork Needles. The straight stitch plate gives better
support during stitching and gives a more distinct cut and improved
results, especially on fabric with high fiber strength.
2. Use the hole in the Multi Purpose Tool to insert the needle
24
Symbols:
There are some new symbols that you will see in the cutwork design
booklets.
25
This is the symbol you will see indicating the design has been digitized for Cutwork Needles.
26
This symbol indicates that water soluble stabilizer is required.
27
This symbol indicates that this color will stitch the outline of the
areas to be cut.
28
This symbol indicates that now is the time to cut inside the stitched
area if you are not using INSPIRA® Cutwork Needles. (For some
particularly delicate fabrics, you may want to trim the fabric manually.
Test the design on your fabric first to assure the best results.)
29
Needle #1 is color coded red, #2 is color coded yellow, #3 is color
coded green and #4 is color coded blue.
30
This symbol indicates that INSPIRA® Cutwork Needle is to be
inserted now. The color indicates which needle to use.
31
Only two needles may be used, or all four may be used depending on
the design. The instructions will tell you which ones to use throughout the design.
5
32
33
*
This symbol indicates it is time to add INSPIRA® Aqua Magic
Water Soluble Stabilizer underneath. Slide one layer of Aqua Magic
Stabilizer underneath the embroidery hoop. The bobbin thread is
attached, so be sure it is pushed out of the way to allow the stabilizer
to lay flat.
This symbol indicates it is time to trim any remaining threads and
remove the cut fabric. (Note that there is one color change stitched
after the fabric is cut, BEFORE you remove the cut pieces. This is
to stitch the cut area to the new stabilizer, before the cut pieces are
removed.)
34
This symbol indicates you are to finish your embroidery.
35
This symbol reminds you to clean the bobbin area after each embroidery design.
36
Indicates that this is a design that cannot be rotated or mirrored.

#25 - Omnimotion Stitches
1
2
3
4
Omnimotion Stitches are sideways feed stitches that enable you to
make stitches up to 54.6mm wide instead of the standard 7mm stitch
width. Your Omnimotion stitches are in menu K.
Some of the Omnimotion stitches, are designed to stitch only once
and have a STOP programmed into them. You can tell which ones
they are because they come up as a single design, not a row of
designs, and the STOP is lit
Omnimotion stitches need to be sewn with either the S foot or the
Clear View S-Foot (#412975145). These feet are very wide, and will
enable your DESIGNER DIAMOND deLuxe™ to feed properly.
Omnimotion stitches are suitable for sewing on a strip of fabric that
will then be inserted into a quilt or garment. They can be sewn on a
garment, for example down a blouse front, provided the garment is
relatively light weight and there are no seams or linings that will be in
the area where the stitching will be.
Omnimotion stitches are NOT suitable on bulky items such as finished quilts or quilt tops, or jackets with linings etc. If you want to
use Omnimotion stitches on larger items, sew them in embroidery
mode, which supports the bulk of the fabric and enables them to
feed accurately because of the embroidery arm.
Omnimotion Stitches in Sewing Mode:
5
When sewing one of the Omnimotion stitches in sewing mode,
begin by marking a line, using your Pictogram Pen, down the strip of
fabric where it will be sewn. The beginning point of a design is not
necessarily the center. If you look at our leaf design which we will
stitch first, you will see the black dot indicating the start point of the
design is to the right of center. Cut your strip of fabric wider than
the finished project will require so you can re-cut the strip of fabric
after the stitching is complete, centering the stitching.

#26 - F Menu Appliqué Stitches

F1 Appliqué Stitches Menu has a variety of stitches designed to
do different types of appliqué. Some of the stitches are there as a
convenience, such as the straight and zig zag stitches so that you can
combine or choose them without going back to the A Menu. F1:9
is a decorative buttonhole you might like to use on your appliqué
projects.
Satin Stitch Appliqué:

F1:3, F1:4 and F1:5 are satin stitches. They are formed differently
than a standard zig zag. One stitch goes from left to right, then the
next stitch “travels”. A regular zig zag “travels” on every stitch and
isn’t as “satiny” looking.
Cut out a heart from cotton print. The heart is the perfect shape
to practice appliqué because it has inside and outside corners, and
curves.
Place the cut heart on a piece of plain cotton. Pin or hold in place
with Temporary Spray Adhesive.
Place INSPIRA® Tear-A-Way Stabilizer underneath the fabric.

Align the fabric so that you are beginning at the point of the heart.
Most of the stitch should be on the heart. The right swing of the
needle should just go off the right hand edge of the heart as shown.
The fabric needs to feed by itself, so you should not be helping it at
all. The stitches should lay one right next to the other without space
between them, and without overlapping. If necessary, adjust the
stitch length one notch at a time until you have a nice stitch.
As you approach the curve, sew slowly and move the fabric steadily and continuously around the curved area. This will result in nice,
smooth stitching.
Stitch approximately ¼” past the inside corner at the top center of
the heart. Touch Needle Stop Down. The needle needs to stop on
the left. Tap your foot control to move the needle to the left, if it has
stopped in the right hand position.

12
Your needle is now down in the fabric and the presser foot is floating
just above the fabric in Pivot position. Turn the fabric 90° so you are
ready to start up the next side. You will begin by going over the end
of the previous stitching.
13
At the end, stitch over the beginning stitches to the point of the
heart and touch FIX. This will tie off the stitches so they don’t
unravel.
14
Select F1:13
15
Touch Mirror Side-to-Side.
16
Using the techniques you just learned, stitch around another heart
using this “grass” satin stitch.
17
Using the same techniques, stitch around another heart using F1:14.
This stitch has texture on both sides of the stitch.
2
18
The last heart will be stitched with F1:20. This stitch is a bit trickier.
It stitches back and forth several times. When you reach the inside
top corner, stop, and touch Stitch Restart. Pivot the fabric, and begin
stitching down the other side.
Hand Look Applique:
19
20
21
22
Hand Look Applique was originally done by hand, turning under the
raw edges of the fabric and blind stitching the shape in place. Sometimes a heavier contrasting thread was used and a blanket stitch was
used instead of the invisible blind stitch.
F1:11, F1:12, F1:15, F1:17, F1:18 and F1:19 can all be used for hand
look appliqué
To do Handlook Applique, the edges of the fabric need to be
finished in some manner. One method is to place a fusible web such
as Steam-A-Seam 2 on the back of the fabric, and fuse the appliqué
shape in place. This prevents the raw edges of the fabric from
fraying.
Another method that we will use is to trace the appliqué shape onto
a light weight interfacing. Begin by tracing four heart shapes onto a
light weight fusible interfacing.
23
Place the traced interfacing onto the right side of print fabric.
24
Select F1:1, straight stitch. Stitch around the heart shape.
25
Repeat for all four hearts.
26
Trim around the hearts using your Pinking Shears. This will “grade”
the curves quickly and easily. Clip into the inside corner.
3
27
Trim out the center of the heart so that there approximately ⅜” of
interfacing left.
28
Turn and press so that the interfacing is not showing on the right
side of the heart.
You now have four hearts with finished edges. Doing it this way
keeps the fabric soft and flexible. Fusing the hearts in place can
leave them stiff.
29
30
Pin them onto a background fabric.
31
Select F1:11 .
32
33
Thread with smoke colored invisible thread on top and bobbin
thread in the bobbin.
Place INSPIRA® Tear-A-Way Stabilizer underneath the fabric.
34
Stitch around the heart. The straight stitch portion of the stitch
should be on the base fabric and only the left swing of the needle
should come over onto the heart shape, forming a “pick” stitch.
35
Select F1:15. This stitch is very similar to F1:11. The difference is
that F1:11 has two stitches in between the “pick” stitch. This one has
only one.
36
Stitch around the next heart. Compare the two and decide which one
you like best.
4
37
Select F1:17
38
On the top, thread with sewing thread to match the background
color of your heart and bobbin thread in the bobbin.
39
Stitch around the next heart. The stitches should just sew off the
edge of the heart, with most of the stitching being on the heart. This
stitch is very secure and gives just a hint of an outline to the heart.
It would be a good choice on a baby blanket that would be washed a
lot.
40
Select F1:18. With sewing thread still in place, stitch around the last
heart. This stitch has a defined outline stitch that will stitch just outside the heart, framing it nicely.
41
42
Place the large heart on lightweight sew in interfacing.
43
Select F1:1, straight stitch. Stitch around the heart shape.
44
45
46
Trim as before, turn and press.
47
Place the heart right sides together onto the print fabric.
Place on a base fabric with INSPIRA® Tear-A-Way stabilizer
underneath.
Thread with a contrasting 40 wt. rayon thread on top and bobbin
This stitch recommends a wing needle. This makes a very pretty appliqué for an heirloom project. You can stitch with a wing needle or
with a regular needle. Stitch around the heart. The stitch goes back
and forth several times resulting in a heavier blanket stitch look.
5
48
Tapered Satin Stitch Applique:
Stitches F1:6 and F1:16 give you a nice tapered point. While these
two options are the most often used, you have more options.
49
Select F1:6. Adjust the Stitch Width to 6.0
50
51
52
53
54

56
57
On the paper side that does not remove easily, trace two large hearts
onto Steam-A-Seam 2.
58
Touch Tapering. The tapering menu will open.
59
Our heart point is a 45° angle. So we will choose Begin taper 45°
right justified. Choose End taper 45° right justified as shown.
60
Begin stitching at the point of the heart. Stitch around the edge,
pivoting as before at the inner corner.
61
As you approach the beginning point, when the left swing of the
needle meets the beginning taper, touch the Reverse Button. Stitch
until your DESIGNER DIAMOND deLuxe™ stops. You now have
a nicely mitered point on your heart.
Remove the un-traced paper side.
Place the traced hearts on the wrong side of the heart fabric.
Press lightly without steam.
Cut out on the marked lines.
Remove the paper backing.
Place on base fabric and press with steam to fuse in place.
Thread with 40 wt. rayon embroidery thread on top and bobbin
6
62
F1:7 and F1:8 are decorative stitches that can be used as appliqué
stitches. Cut a square and place it on a base fabric. Choose F1:8 .
63
bobbin. Place INSPIRA® Tear-A-Way stabilizer underneath the
fabric. Stitch so one square is on the fabric and one is off the fabric.
The raw edge will be down the center of the stitch.
64
On another square, touch F1:7 .
65
66
Stitch so that the straight edge of the stitch is just off the raw edge
of the fabric.
67
On a third square, select stitch F1:12 .
68
Adjust the stitch length to 5.0 and the stitch width to 7.0.
69
Stitch so that the right swing of the needle just goes off the edge of
the appliqué fabric. This gives the effect of a blanket stitch, but the
narrow satin stitch finishes the raw edge of the fabric.
