A 221 for Lori - Timing, Needle Bar Height, Hook to Needle Clearance (and Grace Slick!)

Once again, this isn't as much an instructional video as it is a "this is how I do it, follow along at your own peril" video. Oh yes... Grace Slick makes a cameo appearance at the end.
In this video we'll look at the timing, needle bar height, and hook to needle clearance of the 221.
If you have the "old style" 221, by all means, go over to my good friends Jen's channel "Sewing Machine Rehab" and check out her excellent video on the old style hook mechanism. Go there anyway, show her some love and subscribe, she's a great mechanic and an excellent teacher.

The whole machine…is just so small! Adorable… but so small. 😉

Bob, I use the little maintenance booklet whenever I clean my 2 machines...helps me keep track of when to oil and lub on a routine schedule.

Cool! Honestly, you're the first person who has told me that they use it!
