Model & names
Model
Husqvarna Viking Quilt Designer II
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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).
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.
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.
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 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.
The safety instructions also say to unplug the machine immediately after using and before cleaning (PDF 2).
No. "No lubrication (oiling) is needed." Turn off the main switch and clean it often; to clean the bobbin area, follow "Clean the Bobbin Area" on PDF 69 / printed 69.
The Embroidery Theme and all optional Stitch d-Cards are sold separately (PDF 76 / printed 76).
Only with the optional Embroidery Theme, which includes an embroidery unit, embroidery hoops in different sizes and two Embroidery d-Cards. The machine has an embroidery unit connection socket at the back (PDF 5 / printed 5).
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.

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.
