[@ruthirwin8222]

Thank you , i tried and tried and tried again , dont what im doing wrong, it looks like its in the tension , but it just does gather..i have a viking opal, any suggestions

[@anniemarsella3355]

What are your settings?

I don't have the Jade, but my Viking is very similar, I wound it by hand, but I think that's wrong, and I surely didn't get it fully in that tension clip either. Thanks for the helpful video, I'll give it another go!

Thanks so much - I see now that I hadn't secured tension on bobbin.

Darlene, I purchased my Jade 20 machine through a Viking (Husqvarna) dealer and received NO, NONE, ZIP, ZERO instruction on how to use the machine. I found your video and THANK YOU for the excellent demo/instruction on its various features. I own an old Viking Designer (that uses floppy disks), an old Sears Kenmore, and a new Bernina. So I am not new to sewing on a machine. BUT each machine is different and has features unique to it. I have found my Jade 20 (a store model) to be noisy. In your video it appears that your machine is much quieter. Is there a place on the Jade that can be oiled or perhaps cleaned to help reduce the ‘noise’? I am fastidious in maintaining my Bernina. Is there something I can do at home to help maintain my Jade? Again, thank you for taking the time and making your terrific video.

Could you explain what thread tension you’re using? Thank you!

[@dalenemcdonald-mcdonaldsse8689]

I usually use whatever thread tension is recommended for the type of fabric. It's printed on the lid of the machine.
