Sewing Advisor - Interlude 445

Your Interlude 445 features the exclusive Husqvarna

Viking Sewing Advisor. It is always active and is located

at the bottom of the Touch Panel. When beginning a

sewing project, touch your fabric type and weight then touch

the technique you desire to sew.

Your selected fabric is “remembered” until the next time

you change it.

The Sewing Advisor sets the best stitch, stitch length, stitch

width and sewing speed for your project. Interlude 445

also gives you recommendations on thread tension, presser

foot pressure and presser foot for the selected fabric and

technique.

Fabric Selection

Woven or Knit

The difference between woven and knit

fabric is the way the threads are put

together. Woven fabrics are made of two

thread systems, warp lengthwise and

weft crosswise that intersect at straight

angles. A knit fabric is made of one

thread system with interlaced stitches. A

knit fabric usually has stretch.

As a general rule, enter Woven for

stable fabrics that have no stretch and

Stretch for fabrics that have stretch.
