I am making scarves of crepe back satin using a rolled hem. The sides
look great but I need to do an angle at the ends. My new Viking 905 will
cut the fabric but does not stitch the angle. HELP!

The manual and VCR tape for the 936 both provide good
instructions for serging curves, which should be of help
learning to serge bias (since at least part of most curves
are on the bias).
Practice on lots of scraps until you discover how to hold
the fabric at just the right angle, try altering the cutting
depth, experiment with the differential feed settings and
different stitch lengths, etc.
Bias is not for the faint-of-heart under any circumstances.

Whoopsie, my mind translated "905" to be "936". However,
similar advice applies, unless the 905 does not have
differential feed and adjustable cutting depth.

It does. I had a 910 for years: same machine, but with added memory and
advisor... With practice, it will sew bias rolled hems very nicely.
BUT! Make the cutting width quite a bit wider than the recommended
cutting width.

The 905 does have differential feed and adjustable cutting
depth. I have one. If it's fine on the straight grain
then it's probably a need to adjust the differential feed
more than a need to adjust the cutting depth.
