Hi @kmoore9
t appears that using your husqvarna viking #1+ machine for free motion embroidery is a good idea. a few suggestions for solving the problem; make sure the darning foot is properly secured and set to remain slightly above the fabric. Make sure that the thread length is zero because the feed hooks need to be disconnected. Additionally; to account for the longer thread used in free motion sewing, try reducing the tension a little amount.
