Husqvarna Viking Practica III sewing machine stuck in reverse

Husqvarna Viking Practica III sewing machine stuck in reverse


 As you can see in picture 6 and 7, the button for going backwards is always pushed, I have to take the big button off to be able to pull the brown button in the center and in this position, the machine is going forward, that is to say that the fabric is going from the inside to the outside of the needle. If it is a problem of oil, if there a recommended brand or is any oil forsewing machine is ok? The problem is that the machine is only goig backwards, I should push a buttn to go backwards but the button is blocked.




The unit must be cleaned. If you push the reverse button in and out you will see it work. You might have to use your hand to push the reverse button out from the back. I'll attach a video at the bottom that will explain it better.

  1. I just inherited my Nan's old Husqvarna Practica III sewing machine, which is very old and dirty looking at the moment. Currently, the motor is obviously working as the bobbin spinny thing will spin (I'm only a new sewer, so don't know technical terms), but the needle isn't moving up and down. So if you know any sites that will show me how to give this machine a good service/clean that would be great. Thank you, and nice post, I will have to remember it if it ever gets stuck in reverse.
