Your series on the Viking 116 have been very helpful. You explain things so clearly making the videos easy to follow and understand. Up until now I've not had a really good understanding of my machine. Thank you for posting all the videos.
Dont often comment on youtube videos, but came across this while working to fix the girlfriends machine. Very informative, well filmed, and enjoyable to watch! Thanks for your time in making this.
Thank you!!! Ialmost gave up on my machine and found your videos..it's been a long tome since the last time I saw that I forgot many things you just reminded me.
I love my little Emerald ♥️
I like your nails almost as much as the vids! Thanks!
What kind of oil did you use and where can I purchase it?
Why aren't there ANY videos on the Emerald 183 on RUclips....????? None!?? It was supposedly used in classes & very popular & absolutely no trace of it. I just was given one & since there are videos of anything & everything here I thought I'd find SOMETHING(?). Nope 🙁
The Viking Emerald 183 was already discontinued when we started doing videos. Sorry.
HeirloomCreations thank you for responding. I just can’t believe there isn’t ONE out there. People make videos on everything, especially tutorials, even on ‘antique’ machines.. I don’t get it. I’m slowly figuring it all out though, the manual is pretty useless, but thanks again.
I agree!!
I just purchased one myself and will try to make us some worthy videos!
@@user-22- I got my used 183 two to three years ago, it's my first digital machine. I've got pros and cons on it, but I agree no videos on it. The manual isn't that great. It's disappointing to have so little support at mfr level. I've gotten good info from the reps at sewing centers, not sure how good a class would be at this point.

Señorita Maestra, gracias.
Does husqvarne sell mini vaccines for sewing machines ?
When did Husquvarnia stop using graphite gears?? Its unusual to OIL a Viking.
How do you change light bulb
Hi, and where can I take the machine for repairs every year. Thanks
Can you show on a 116 were the needle needs to be on the down position for timing..cant find a video
I can't use the screwdriver to remove the plate to clean under because the threaded is in the way. HELP
Asked the place where u bought it? I’m getting curious as to how it look like. Hope u were able to do it already.
My long comment to this machine that I bought 4 years ago is on Barbara’s reply asking why here hand wheel won’t turn. As noted on that comment mine did same at 4 months old. They refused to fix on maintainance contract, claiming it sat on a Taiwan dock for months. Charged $75 for oiling. It has now permanent seized up again. I now have 7 machines so although I sew often I use my 36 year old Elna that I maintain myself and several vintage I now own and maintain myself. This Viking Emerald machine is crap. Since I now live rural and no one not even in the two towns have ANY repair service at all of any kind I just decide to take cover off myself. And see if I can replace whatever is the “closed oil system” stated in the actual MANUAL. This is impossible. I took out all screws and the front and back won’t budge. I was even trying to just break it off as its so seized up it doesnt matter. I got the sides held open enough and the bottom plastic plate off to see that its not the gears or the belts that look brand new but its the top assembly going out from wheel. They lie. This is not a closed system. I was expecting to see a refillable oil bottle or a wick or both. Nothing. All I saw was what my father called monkey grease. That thick oily yellow stuff on a few parts. Amazingly too they say don’t open but the not gears but oval shaped lugs under the bobbin race were all full of lint??? They should at least build in a door to open to clean that out??!! Just taking out and cleaning bobbin is not enough. So basically this machine is designed to fail and if you sew often as I do I would be taking it in for a $75 oil job every few months or more. Because something is wrong. Even if needing oiling I have never seen a machine seize up! I can maintain my no knob numbers 1933 Singer industrial where I have to guess where the tension setting is by playing with gears inside the machine!!! I’m not a dummy. I also have a 1919 treadle, hand crank, 1960s White brand, the Elna I mentioned. No issues at all maintaining. Again this is crap.
My hand wheel won't turn do you know what might be the problem
I'm confused...I thought this is a "self lubricating" sewing machine?
+Kid Jackie "self lubricating" implies exactly what she said... you put some on the wick, and it draws it through and lubricates everything that needs to be lubricated. There is no sewing machine out there that will get up, go buy sewing machine oil, open itself up, and then lubricate itself... and sewing machine oil will not just magically appear out of nowhere. Just because it takes out multiple steps where you put oil in part a, part b, part c, etc... and instead you just put oil in a single place (on the wick she pointed out), it does not mean that it does not need oil at all. All machines with moving parts need proper oil maintenance to function properly.
avalonspawn My old lady's does...she found it running with the refrigerator for the oil! Imagine that!
avalonspawn this answer is correct for all but this machine. I have 7 including vintage but needed a fast new one when my only other one needed repair. In the time frame from learning that this basic Viking bought 3 years ago from my comment here is an entire closed oilsystem. This I ONLY found out when it was 4 months old and seized up, nothing turning. Took it back and tech said out of oil. Not only did they charge me as it was maintenance not covered in the 2 year warranty his excuse was ...we dont know how long it sat on the dock in Taiwan!! So one ...totally rude and cost me $75. So no, the manual says for this one never oil. Not even in the bobbin area. My Elna also says it never nneds oil except inside the bobbin area where a red dot is. It has a different bearing system that in that manual says never needs oil. It was one of last all metal ones made. My vintage ones have like 50 places for oil and also according to the manua. So dont beleive anyting anyone says except the manurafatcturer. But given that. I’m going to break into my Viking myself. We moved rural so how do they think we are going to get it randomly oiled? And no where when buying it or in the manual does it actually say “closed oil system”. It only says never oil. Manual doesnt say ....you are locked out and have to take to a tech. As the Elena says never NEEDS oil.
Can I use WD 40 to oil my machine please
Sewing machine oil is the only product that should be used on your machine.
I was told that the Viking 116 should NEVER be oiled.
Kimberly Norton I wasn’t either and I bought at the dealer and has a class.
Hi Kimberly, that is what I read on the internet also; it stated that Viking sewing machine made after 1972 did not require oiling. I wish I knew where she got that piece of information and whether or no it is actually correct. Have a Great Week!
@@jamesdurham7158 I no longer sew but I probably got that information from the sales rep at the store. Check with the Viking representatives and they can tell you for sure. It has been so long since I posted the information to where I do not remember posting it.
Hi Kimberly, Thanks for the comeback, my THAT was FAST! Have a Wonderful day and Stay Safe! James from Colorado.
Maintainance says never oil!
