The Designer II should not be oiled by the user. As with most computerized sewing machines, it's got a sealed bearing system. You do need to clean the bobbin area and the space under the bobbin case. See page 65 of the user manual to open stitch plate to clean the bobbin area and feed dogs. Next remove bobbin case holder and bobbin case to clean under there. Sometimes the interdental brushes can get some of the lint that the sewing machine brush misses. The manual for the Husqvarna Viking Designer II is available on the product page: http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/en-US/Machines/DESIGNER-II . The current link to the manual is http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/getattachment/Machines/DESIGNER-II/Designer-II.pdf.aspx . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Rotate the handwheel several turns. It should turn smoothly and evenly without binding or jams. Could be the problem is inside the foot control/cable. Disconnect foot control and try using START/STOP and see if the resets stop. I noted the following in the manual; "Never operate the sewing machine with any air openings blocked. Keep ventilation openings of the sewing machine and foot controller free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and loose cloth." I don't believe this is your problem but check it anyway. If it still resets when using START/STOP, could be speed control electronics inside machine or even the motor itself.

Check power gear selection (see bobbin spindle). If you need a copy of manual; https://vikatikki.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/husqvarna-viking-6570-manual-en-web.pdf

On my machine, I use a size 18 needle with an 8 to 9 tension. Could try that. :-)

No, the Scandavania 300 doesn't have embroidery stitches built in. Embroidery patterns come on a memory card; the card reader is on the side of the machine above the power switch. The machine originally came with a card with 25 "sampler" patterns. There are only 20 pre-programmed stitches, including a blanket stitch/hand-look applique stitch. See page 32 the manual, http://manuals.husqvarnaviking.com/VSM/Husqvarna%20Viking/HVManual.nsf/5bc6115484660075c12575d2003f80e3/51860492a45a0af1852575ed00729c00/$FILE/Scandinavia300_manual_EN.pdf , for the list of included stitches. See page 20 for setting up for embroidery. If you don't have that memory card, some may be available on E-bay. However, you'll need to check that the card is compatible with the Scandavania 300. Most of the cards I've seen on E-bay are programmable ones that require a separate reader/writer that connects to your computer. Many of the writers are not supported for newer versions of the Windows OS; the drivers weren't updated. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Remove the cover on the left side of the arm and there is a knob that you push to the right and turn it down.

Try using a needle for metallic thread, the eye is larger and may help

Tighten the tension on the bobbin.

Your tension is off. Start by using the sewing computer setting for thick fabric. Sew "test swatches" on scraps of the fleece you're planning to sew until your swatch stitches look correct.
