When I start up my viking rose, for first 15 minutes, it auto stops giving the thread error on the screen. I use the $8 spool of thread and quality of thread is not problem. I have not found anything to help. Any info would be great
You need to see if the take up spring is moving freely when you are in these first 15 minutes (I assume the machine runs ok after 15 mins).
The take up spring is on the left side of the tension assy. When the thread is pulled up toward the take up lever, you should be able to look through the slot in the front of the machine and see a copper colored wire move up and down as the thread is pulled and released. This is the end of the take up spring. The spring is attached to the thread breakage sensor. If its movement is sluggish, it may cause the machine to falsely indicate the thread broke.
Sewing very slowly may cause this problem to stop. If the machine runs as minimal speed and then gives thread break indication when speeding up, the sensor interrupter is not moving fast enough and should be cleaned and lubed.

Try turning the power on and let the machine sit for a half hour. Do not attempt to run it during this time. If it still gives the problem, I don't know. If it's ok, it does warm up and will most likely need a new main circuit board.
I should ad, either way, the machine needs to go in to a qualified technician.

I am having the same problem. It stitches 4 stitches and the warning comes on. If I stop pressing on the pedal for a second and start up again, I get another 4 stitches and it stops again with the warning. After about 15 minutes or so, it keeps going and I no longer get the warning. I have tried the "slow" speed, but I can't go any slower yet it still only stitches 4 and I still get the warning. I see a wire through the front and it moves...sometimes the thread has looped around it and sometimes not. I am not sure I am threading the machine correctly at the point where it goes by the tension wheel. But again, once the machine is "warmed up" it sews without the warning.
Are the thread holders supposed to be little nubs? If so, how do you get the spools of thread to stay on?
