Welcome to
FixYa. Hi - Viking has
online tutorials for several of the 955E features, including embroidery.
Here is a link to the 955E tutorials:

Some general hints and tips:
- Always turn your machine off when you attach or remove your embroidery arm or when you insert or remove an embroidery design card.
- When you insert your embroidery arm, insert an embroidery design card. When you turn your machine back on, you should see a message on the info screen that says something like "embroidery arm will move". Press OK, and the embroidery arm will calibrate.
- After the embroidery arm has calibrated, place your hoop on the embroidery arm.
- Look at each end of your embroidery arm - you will find a connector that must slip into a corresponding connector on the embroidery machine. This connector slides into a corresponding connector on the machine. The connector on the machine has a cover that slides open and closed. If it is closed, it you might not spot it right away. You must open this slot when you attach the embroidery arm - slide the embroidery arm straight back (not at an angle), so the embroidery arm connects to the machine securely. Although you might need to nudge the embroidery arm in place, do not force it!
The Viking site also has projects for the 955E that will help you learn to use some of the features - you can probably sew most or all of the free projects on the site, but projects for the 955E incorporate
features on your machine that might be available on others. And look for the free designs!
Hope this helps get you started. If you and other readers have a minute to rate this information (good or bad, or indifferent), your rating will help me determine if I understood your question and if my answer is helpful.
A few more recommendations...You can order a manual for your machine from any Viking dealer and probably
online, and I recommend that you do. Your machine has some very cool sewing and embroidery features. I sold Vikings, so I can answer specific questions about many individual features, but Viking manuals are not expensive and can help you save time and avoid irritating problems.
If you have more questions, please comment and I will do my best to help you further. I am pleased to answer general questions about embroidery, if you want hints and tips or run into problems.
Cheers, Ginny
Thanks. It was so simple and I was making it so hard.
Thanks. So simple and yet, I made it difficult.
Alternative situation: Using a new programmable card, it has a file on it in .HUS format...but on the Viking 1+ it needs an embroidery cassette to select and stitch out patterns on the cassette.
I have no idea how to stitch out the new design that is on the new card that gets inserted up into the machine. Seriously: How can I get the machine to 'see' the programmed card and stitch it out?
I did this very thing 3 years ago...I feel so frustrated at this point because
I haven't done that since then and I don't remember and can't find any information anywhere!
Thanks!
