#11 - Quilting in Sewing Mode31

1

Piecing with a 1/4” (6mm) Seam allowance:

Snap on your Quilters 1/4” Piecing foot P. The presser foot

P has distance guideline marks 1/4” (6mm) and 1/8” (3mm)

from the needle.

2 Select Straight Stitch A1:2

3Place two pieces of cotton quilting fabric right sides

together.

4Align the edge of your presser foot with the edge of the

fabric.

5Stitch a seam with a 1/4” (6mm) seam allowance.

NOTE: When using the Quilters 1/4” Piecing foot “P” use

only center needle position straight stitch.

6

On another piece of fabric, place your fabric so that the

starting edge of the fabric is aligned with the back red line

on the foot and the seam edge with the edge of the foot as

shown. This will insure you will start stitching exactly 1/4”

(6mm) from the edge of the fabric.

#11 -Quilting in Sewing Mode



7

Continue stitching and stop when the front red line on the

foot is even with the end of the fabric. This insures that

you will stop exactly 1/4” (6mm) from the end of the seam.

This is helpful in certain types of piecing such as in a

Grandmother Flower Garden or any time you need to stop

and start 1/4” (6mm) from the ends of the block.

25Insert a bobbin wound with cotton sewing thread or 35 or

40 wt. rayon thread.


26On a “quilt sandwich” made with cotton fabric and cotton

batting, stitch a row. If you are not seeing enough of the

bobbin thread come to the top, set the thread portioning to

a higher number.

27

Insert your Edge/Quilting Guide 1” (25mm) from the

needle. To insert the Edge/Quilting Guide, loosen the

screw on the back of the ankle. Don’t remove it, just

loosen it enough that the quilting guide can be inserted.

Align the curved edge of the Guide along the edge of the

fabric. Tighten the screw.

32

Because embroidery tension is designed to pull to the back

of the hoop, you may need to adjust your

tension/portioning to a higher number.

Tip: Test by hooping a quilt “sandwich”. Leave a long

bobbin thread tail. Manually bring up the bobbin thread.

This will keep the back of your quilt neat. Do this each

time you begin stitching.

33Stitch the fi rst row of stippling. Remove the hoop from

your DESIGNER RUBY deLuxe™ and check to see if the

tension/portioning is balanced. If not, adjust as needed.

34Before you begin your next row, snip the bobbin thread,

which is easy to do, as the hoop has moved towards you,

and bring it up manually as before. Stitch all the rows.

35

Using the concepts you have just learned, try building

other quilting designs using the stitches in your DESIGNER

RUBY deLuxe™.

You need to determine how many stitch repeats will fi t in

your hoop. As you are selecting the stitch, and touching

Duplicate, watch at the bottom of the screen. Our hoop is

Try a few combinations on a scrap backed with INSPIRA®

Tear-A-Way stabilizer. Because they will be sewn on an

uneven, pleated or gathered surface, it is best when

smocking in sewing mode to stick with rows of stitches

that don’t have to “match”. If you want to do more intricate

patterns, that require the “peaks” to match, you are better

to do it in embroidery mode.

Touch Baste in hoop. The needle goes to the back of the

hoop, on the right side. This is the far right side of the

design. Position the stabilized pleated strip on top of the

Tear-A-Way stabilizer, centered side to side with the needle

approximately 1/2” to 3/4” from the end of your pleated

fabric.

70Baste the strip in place. Remember, you can baste using

your foot control instead of START/STOP when you want

to control the speed.

71

Colors 1 and 2 stitch the center diamonds.

Colors 3 and 4 stitch the right hand row of diamonds.

Color 5 stitches the fi rst small row to the right of the

center.

Color 6 stitches the far right small row.

Color 7 stitches out the center right hand row.

Color 8 stitches the far left small row to the left center.

Color 9 stitches the far right small row.

Color 10 stitches out the center right hand row.

Colors 11 and 12 stitch the left hand row of diamonds.

72When your DESIGNER RUBY deLuxe™ tells you

“Embroidery is Finished” touch OK.

73When the design is complete, DO NOT remove the

basting. Remove the fabric from the hoop and trim away

the excess stabilizer next to where the next design will

begin

74

Design Positioning would not work well in this instance

because our design completely fi lls our hoop from top to

bottom. We would be able to move the design from side to

side, but not from top to bottom. Instead we are going to

use our basting to match up our next repeat of the design.

#14- Free Motion Stitching45

1When stitching free motion on your DESIGNER RUBY

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 Spring

Action

Sensor Q-Foot Open Toe Free Motion

Spring Foot #413037646

4

To set your DESIGNER RUBY deLuxe™

for Free Motion

In Sewing Mode, Touch Free Motion Technique icon. Choose

either Free Motion Floating or Free Motion Spring Action.

NOTE: When sewing with Free Motion the machine will

automatically use Thread Tension instead of Thread

Portioning.

5

Free Motion Floating

Free Motion Floating allows the foot to “fl oat” 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 fl oating

mode and stays there.

It is possible to adjust the height at which it is “fl oating” above

the fabric. This is called the Pivot Height.

6When choosing Free Motion Floating, the Pivot Height

control 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.

7

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 diffi cult to

move, touch the + to raise it up giving the fabric more

clearance to move.


8

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 fi nd that the Pivot Height is not

active when Free Motion Spring Action has been chosen

because it is not applicable.

9

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.

2. The “R” Foot is the basic Free Motion foot that comes with

your DESIGNER RUBY deLuxe™.

3. The Clear Open Toe Free Motion Foot is an optional

accessory that is very useful when the fl oating 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.

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.

10Let’s Sew:

Insert a size 90 INSPIRA® Quilting Needle.

11 Thread with cotton thread top and bobbin.

12Make a “quilt sandwich” from two layers of cotton fabric with

batting between them.


13 Snap on your “R” Foot.

14 Touch Free Motion Technique icon in Sewing Mode.

15Choose Free Motion Floating in the Free Motion Technique

pop-up.

16 Select A1:2 .

17

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 RUBY deLuxe™ down one

notch. Then sew with the foot control fully depressed to have

an even speed.

18

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.

19

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.

#15 - Designer Cutwork49

1

Cutwork on your HUSQVARNA VIKING DESIGNER RUBY

deLuxe™ can be done two different ways. The fi rst, is to cut

out the area, using your small scissors that came with your

DESIGNER RUBY 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.

2

Traditional Cutwork

Traditional cutwork designs use these symbols to indicate

that they are cutwork designs.

The fi rst symbol is showing that the area to be cut will fi rst

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 RUBY deLuxe™ has eight built-in cutwork

designs. They are 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22 and 23.

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.

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.


16

Fabrics

Most fabrics that are suitable for traditional cutwork will

work with the Embroidery Cutwork Needle Kit. The ideal

fabric is a woven, natural fi ber 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

fi ber 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.

17

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:

Place the “glue” side of INSPIRA® Light & Soft Fuse-On

stabilizer on the wrong side of the fabric.

Press with a dry iron to fuse in place.


18

Hooping

Select the hoop appropriate for the size of the embroidery

design.

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 fi rst stabilizer used will be cut cleanly away by

the Cutwork Needles. The fi nal 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.

Slide your hoop onto your embroidery unit.

19

Stitching

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 fi ber strength.

Use the hole in the Multi Purpose Tool to insert the

needle.

20Symbols

There are some symbols that you will see in the

cutwork design booklets.

21This is the symbol you will see indicating the design has

been digitized for Cutwork Needles.

22This symbol indicates that water soluble stabilizer is

required.

23This symbol indicates that this color will stitch the outline

of the areas to be cut.


24

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 fi rst to assure the best results.)

25Needle #1 is color coded red, #2 is color coded yellow, #3

is color coded green and #4 is color coded blue.

26This symbol indicates that INSPIRA® Cutwork Needle is to

be inserted now. The color indicates which needle to use.

27Only 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.

28

*

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 fl at.

29This 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.)

30 This symbol indicates you are to fi nish your embroidery.

31This symbol reminds you to clean the bobbin area after

each embroidery design.

#16 - Omnimotion Stitches56

1Omnimotion 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.

2Some 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.

3Omnimotion 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 RUBY deLuxe™

to feed properly.

4

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 fi nished 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.

5

Omnimotion Stitches in Sewing Mode

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 fi rst, 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 fi nished 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#17 - F Menu Appliqué Stitches61

1

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.

2

Satin Stitch Appliqué:

F1:1, F1:2, F1:3 and F1:4 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.

3Cut out a heart from cotton print. The heart is the perfect

shape to practice appliqué because it has inside and

outside corners, and curves.

4Place the cut heart on a piece of plain cotton. Pin or hold

in place with Temporary Spray Adhesive.

5Place INSPIRA® Tear-A-Way Stabilizer underneath the

fabric.

6Select F1:2. Be sure your Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR® is

set to Woven Medium.

7Thread with 40 wt. Robison Anton Rayon Thread on top

and bobbin thread in the bobbin.

8 Snap on your Clear B Foot.

9

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.

10As you approach the curve, sew slowly and move the

sfabric steadily and continuously around the curved area.

This will result in nice, smooth stitching.

#17 -F Menu Appliqué Stitches



11

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.

12Your needle is now down in the fabric and the presser foot

is fl oating 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.

13At 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 F1:6


16Using the techniques you just learned, stitch around

another heart using this “grass” satin stitch.


17Using the same techniques, stitch around another heart

using F1:7. This stitch has texture on both sides of the

stitch.

18

Hand Look Applique

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.

19F1:8, F1:9, F1:10, F1:11 and F1:12 can all be used for hand

look appliqué

20

To do Handlook Applique, the edges of the fabric need to

be fi nished 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.

21Another 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.

22Place the traced interfacing onto the right side of print

fabric.

23 Select A1:2, straight stitch. Stitch around the heart shape.

24 Repeat for all four hearts.


25Trim around the hearts using your Pinking Shears. This will

“grade” the curves quickly and easily. Clip into the inside

corner.

26Trim out the center of the heart so that there

approximately 3/8” of interfacing left.

27Turn and press so that the interfacing is not showing on

the right side of the heart.

28You now have four hearts with fi nished edges. Doing

it this way keeps the fabric soft and fl exible. Fusing the

hearts in place can leave them stiff.

29 Pin them onto a background fabric.

30 Select F1:8.

31Thread with smoke colored invisible thread on top and



32Place INSPIRA® Tear-A-Way Stabilizer underneath the

fabric.

33Stitch 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.

34Select F1:9. This stitch is very similar to F1:8. The

difference is that F1:8 has two stitches in between the

“pick” stitch. This one has only one.

35Stitch around the next heart. Compare the two and decide

which one you like best.

36 Select F1:10.

37On the top, thread with sewing thread to match the

background color of your heart and bobbin thread in the

bobbin.

38

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.

39Select F1:11. With sewing thread still in place, stitch around

the last heart. This stitch has a defi ned outline stitch that

will stitch just outside the heart, framing it nicely.

40 Place the large heart on lightweight sew in interfacing.

41 Place the heart right sides together onto the print fabric.


42 Select A1:2, straight stitch. Stitch around the heart shape.

43 Trim as before, turn and press.

44Place on a base fabric with INSPIRA® Tear-A-Way stabilizer

underneath.

45Thread with a contrasting 40 wt. rayon thread on top and


46

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.

47On the paper side that does not remove easily, trace two

large hearts onto Steam-A-Seam 2.

48 Remove the un-traced paper side.

49Place the traced hearts on the wrong side of the heart

fabric.

50 Press lightly without steam.

51 Cut out on the marked lines.

52 Remove the paper backing.

53 Place on base fabric and press with steam to fuse in place.

54Thread with 40 wt. rayon embroidery thread on top and


55 Touch Start Menu,


57 Touch menu Z- Decorative Tapering stitches.

58 Select stitch Z1:1.

59 Touch Tapering. The tapering menu will open.

60Our heart point is a 45° angle. So we will choose Begin

taper 45° right justifi ed. Choose End taper 45° right justifi ed

as shown.


61Begin stitching at the point of the heart. Stitch around the

edge, pivoting as before at the inner corner.

62As you approach the beginning point, when the left swing

of the needle meets the beginning taper, touch the Reverse

Button. Stitch until your DESIGNER RUBY deLuxe™ stops.

You now have a nicely mitered point on your heart.

63F1:4 and F1:5 are decorative stitches that can be used as

appliqué stitches. Cut a square and place it on a base

fabric. Choose F1:5 .

64

Thread with 40 wt. rayon thread on top and bobbin thread

in the 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.

65 On another square, touch F1:4 .


67Stitch so that the straight edge of the stitch is just off the

raw edge of the fabric.

#18 - H Menu Scallop Stitches68

the line, adjust as necessary.

11Apply Fray Blocking liquid just below the stitching so it will

“seep” into the edge of the thread.

12 Allow to dry.

“seep” into the edge of the thread.

20 Allow to dry.

21 Trim carefully, just outside the stitching line.

22Straight Stitch Scallops:

H2:24 and H2:25 are straight stitch scallops. They will give

you a turned, fi nished edge.

23 Cut a strip of cotton 4” x 20”.

24 Fold in half lengthwise, right sides together.

25Select either H2:24 or H2:25. Note the presser foot called for

on the Large Interactive Screen.

28 Stitch the length of the strip.

29 Trim approximately 1/8” from the stitching.

30 Clip into the points, turn and press.

31The remaining stitches H2:27 to H2:30 are decorative

scallop stitches and are not designed to fi nish an edge. They

are used like any other decorative stitch.
