Before choosing a part

Compatibility essentials

Start with these documented details. Read the requirements with each answer before choosing a needle, bobbin or foot.

Needle system / designation

System 130/705H. The supplied needle case has standard needles in sizes 70, 80 and 90, stretch needles in 75 and 90 (marked yellow), and jeans needles in 90 and 100 (marked blue).

Other names, regional versions and related models have not been confirmed here. A shared manual, product line or accessory group does not identify the machine's family.

What do you need help with?

What bobbins does the Quilt Designer II use?

Before you use this answer

Both instructions are as printed on PDF page 11 and PDF page 71 (printed pages 11 and 71). The manual names only original Husqvarna Viking green bobbins and prints no class or part number, so no other bobbin is confirmed here.

Documents and page references →

Which needles should I use?

Before you use this answer

The manual recommends system 130/705H and names no other, so no other system or equivalence is inferred. The sizes are those of the supplied needle case on PDF page 16 (printed page 16).

Documents and page references →

Which feet does the manual describe, and is there a quarter-inch foot?

Before you use this answer

Turn off the main switch before changing a foot (PDF page 15, printed page 15). Standard foot B is not the optional transparent foot B (PDF page 60, printed page 60). No shank standard, part numbers or third-party foot fit are stated or inferred.

Documents and page references →

Where do the stitches come from on the Quilt Designer II?

Before you use this answer

The manual prints widths only for listed stitches, such as on PDF page 46 (printed page 46) and PDF page 48 (printed page 48), and no maximum stitch width for the machine, so none is given here. Optional cards are sold separately.

Documents and page references →

Can I free-motion quilt on it?

Before you use this answer

Use the free motion quilting and stippling section on PDF page 50 (printed page 50). The Sensor Q Foot is an optional accessory; the manual gives no part number or fit for it beyond this machine’s setting.

Documents and page references →

Does it embroider?

Before you use this answer

Only with the optional Embroidery Theme, which is sold separately (PDF page 76, printed page 76). No hoop size, part number or other embroidery unit is given or confirmed here.

Documents and page references →
More questions (4)

How do I put the bobbin in?

Before you use this answer

Turn off the main switch first. Use “Placing the Bobbin in the Machine” on PDF page 11 (printed page 11); the steps are the manual’s own and are not rewritten here.

Documents and page references →

How do I change the needle?

Before you use this answer

Turn off the main switch first, as the safety instructions on PDF page 2 also say. Then use “Changing the Needle” on PDF page 16 (printed page 16); the steps are the manual’s own and are not rewritten here.

Documents and page references →

Does it need oiling?

Before you use this answer

The safety instructions read: “Always unplug this sewing machine from the electric outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.” (PDF page 2, unnumbered) Then use “Clean the Bobbin Area” on PDF page 69 (printed page 69).

Documents and page references →

The presser foot won’t go down. What should I check?

Before you use this answer

These are the manual’s three checks for “Presser foot will not go down?” on PDF page 71 (printed page 71), given as printed. No other cause or repair is covered here.

Needle, bobbin & presser-foot details

Read the model-specific requirements with each answer before choosing parts.

Needle

System and sizes

  • The manual recommends this system ("we recommend needles of system 130/705H") and names no other; none is inferred.

System 130/705H. The supplied needle case has standard needles in sizes 70, 80 and 90, stretch needles in 75 and 90 (marked yellow), and jeans needles in 90 and 100 (marked blue).

Sources and pages

Bobbin

Bobbin type

  • The first instruction is printed in the "Winding from the Needle" section (PDF 11 / printed 11); the second is the trouble-shooting fix for a bobbin alarm that does not work (PDF 71 / printed 71).
  • Bobbin class and part number are recorded as not stated, never as incompatible.

The manual says to use only original Husqvarna Viking green bobbins, and if the bobbin alarm doesn't work, to clean lint from the bobbin area and use only authentic Husqvarna green style bobbins. No bobbin class or part number is printed.

Sources and pages

Insertion

  • The bobbin then rotates counter clockwise while the thread is pulled out (PDF 11 / printed 11).

Turn off the main switch, then follow "Placing the Bobbin in the Machine" on PDF 11 / printed 11: the bobbin goes in with its mark facing up and the thread to the left, and the thread is pulled into the tension spring until it clicks.

Sources and pages

Presser foot

Feet and quarter inch

  • Foot A is fitted on the machine on delivery (PDF 14 / printed 14).
  • The standard presser foot B described on PDF 14 is not the transparent presser foot B, which the manual lists as an optional accessory on PDF 60 / printed 60.
  • No shank standard, part numbers or third-party foot fit are stated, and none is inferred.

The manual describes presser feet A, B, C, D, E, H, J, P, R and S plus the Sensor Buttonhole Foot. Foot P is for piecing quilt blocks and has distance marks 1/4" (6 mm) and 1/8" (3 mm). Turn off the main switch before changing a foot; it snaps on with a cross pin (PDF 15 / printed 15).

Specifications & documented facts

Specifications apply to the named model and document edition. Read any setup, fabric or safety requirements with the answer.

Performance & stitch capabilities

Stitch d cards

  • The manual prints widths only for listed stitches, such as the "Four-step Zigzag, 9 mm" (PDF 46 / printed 46) and stitches E103-06, which are 6-9 mm wide (PDF 48 / printed 48); it prints no maximum stitch width for the machine.

From Stitch d-Cards that slide into the slot on the right side of the machine; each holds up to 35 stitches. Four come with the machine: Utility Stitches A1, Fashion Stitches N1, Quilt and Appliqué Stitches E1 and Block Letters Alphabet O1. More Stitch d-Cards are optional and sold separately. If the machine won't sew, check that a Stitch d-Card is inserted.

Care

Embroidery

Quilting

Free motion

  • The Sensor Q Foot is an optional accessory; the manual gives no part number or fit beyond this machine's setting.

Yes: lower the feed teeth with the dial on the front of the free arm and use presser foot R; the manual's free motion quilting and stippling section is on PDF 50 / printed 50. For very thick or puffy quilts it mentions the optional Sensor Q Foot.

Sources and pages

Troubleshooting

Presser foot wont lower

  • These are the manual's three checks for "Presser foot will not go down?" (PDF 71 / printed 71).

Turn the machine off and on, put the bobbin winder spindle back up into sewing position, and check that Sensor Foot lift is on auto in the SET Menu.

Care, setup & service references

Use the full source procedure and its safety precautions. A short referenced answer is not a substitute for service documentation or qualified electrical/mechanical repair.

Service-manual availability and service-only procedures remain unestablished unless separately cataloged and reviewed.

Coverage and source-review limits

Answers use this model’s own instruction manual with its stated safety conditions. Where the manual contradicts itself or gives no value, no answer is given. No hands-on testing or replacement-part fit is claimed.

Still to confirm

An unanswered question does not mean a part is incompatible. We have not confirmed enough information to recommend it.

Other names, regional versions, production history, further specifications and documents are not fully covered here. Their absence is not a “none exist” finding.
