Best video. I've been watching videos for weeks trying to fix my machine and all they say is its the tension or your threading it wrong. Was so close to spending hundreds on another machine last night. Found you in the nick of time. Thanks a million!!!!

[@Piccalok]

Something I never thought I could do, but I’ve fixed 3 sewing machine es from your video saving me $300! Thank you! Shukran!!

[@MaureenPeterson]

I watched this video yesterday and immediately tore the machine apart to observe what was happening according to your explanation. I was able to loosen the screws and adjust the hook to the proper positioning. THANK YOU for this practical, easy to follow and precise description of machine timing. My machine was skipping stitches occasionally when using a zig-zag. Now, she's humming along perfectly.

[@popandopulouspupkin4496]

I had to replace the bottom shaft because of worn out plastic lobe. Naturally this brings question on setting proper timings, and this video just gives exactly what to look at. Thanks a lot.

[@BubbasChibi]

This is the BEST video I've seen for timing. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I'm saving this and my nephew is coming over to fix the timing.

[@NANA-ge2xx]

The best thing for someone trying to do a timing for the first time is to do it step by step, put the needle in the middle position, and manually turn the wheel until the needle is in the highest position and at the same time check if the feed dogs are also in the highest position, loosen the first screw which is accessible and make a mark so as not to confuse it with the second screw, then turn the steering wheel until the needle is in its lowest position and continue to turn the wheel until the point of the hook is just behind the needle, and loosen the second screw to release the hook which no longer works turn, and then continue to turn the flywheel so that the needle rises 2 to 3 millimeters until the indentation, the hollow part which is above the needle hole, is at the same level as the tip of the hook and by this manipulation check that the feed dogs in their lowest position go up a few millimeters, while maintaining the hook in the reverse order tighten the first which was the second screw to loosen and then turn the wheel to tighten the second screw which was the first screw to loosen. This method can be applied as well as with a vertical hook whose hook turns in the opposite direction (from left to right). In addition to checking the stitches on a seam, check that as the needle point enters the plate also that the feed dogs begin to go inside the plate.

Great video. None of the other videos mention the top of the hole, left vs right, etc. Thanks for the detailed and precise instructions.

[@promole09]

One of the most informative videos concerning the Bobbin timer and we were able to fix my sewing machine doing everything you said to do! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

[@kimberlyhibler1180]

Omgosh, thank you!!! I was about to light my machine on fire trying to figure this out 🤣

[@Chivity_chav3z1020]

You just saved me 150 dollars! Thank you so much!!!

[@missvidabom]

Thank you so much for this! I've been researching for hours trying to understand why my machine is having issues! Everywhere said the basic stuff and none of it was correct. Oh, it is just the tension, threaded wrong, etc. etc. No one suggested TIMING! Thank you!!

[@shannonnunnery7908]

Thank you so much! You saved my sanity and a few bucks. So glad I found this.

[@jjmenning7529]

Your video closeup views and explanation about this topic are the best I've seen for this hook and needle timing issue. Very well done!

[@sarojakariyawasam452]

stiches are always loose

[@charmainethompson9970]

I really love this video..i carry it to numerous people and its still have the same problem..and I just come on KZbin and see if I can find a video to help me and I find yours..many many thanks..blessings👍👏👌

[@kryan5987]

Thank you, I acquired a slightly water damaged XL 3100 machine I was trying to restore, and this video helped get it back to new again yeah .

[@Kokoa_Chanelle]

Ty Ty Ty. I’m reupholstering my sofa and at some point the timing on two of my machines is so messed up needles are breaking. After inspecting one of them I see that the needle drops down too early/late and nicks the bottom of the bobbin housing/holder (or whatever it is called). Hopefully once I make an adjustment of a few mm it will run smoothly. At least for the remainder of this project. 😅

[@thanksmaddytv815]

Were you able to fix it?

[@Kokoa_Chanelle]

@@thanksmaddytv815 No I wound up getting an industrial machine to finish the job. I’ll eventually get around to it though and be sure to leave feedback when I do.

[@lorisimmons4304]

Explains it so well. I think I heard I'm suppose to have in left position to adjust timing?

[@StellaBella_24]

Thank you so much , this video fixed my sewing machine. You explained it so well. Thank you for your help

[@janmadin130]

Thank you so much Doc. I operated my machine successfully, thanks to your guidance. 👍

[@lorisimmons4304]

I was wondering if you have a video on Brother SQ9285 for adjusting needle arm for forward to rear adjustment?

[@nicolynheft3308]

Oh wondrous doctor please help me!!!! This video is amazing, and I know exactly what to do! My issue is my timing screw are SO TIGHT! How can I loosen them up easier? Elbow grease isn’t helping

[@charlienavarroza5854]

this video helped me a lot. thanks you.

[@Za-Here-]

Best video on KZbin ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thanks a lot

[@msashlynnleona9442]

Thank you so much this video was a life saver! I'm still having an issue though, after adjusting it, my stitches are catching now but not all of them, the hook will catch 2 times and then the third it will just pass right by, or the hook will catch one and then not the next. Any suggestions?

[@msashlynnleona9442]

And this is just using the hand wheel, no fabric just testing it

[@mykii-jc7hy]

Thanks that exactly what I needed to know

[@jakestrait8842]

I oiled my machine and when I did the belt came off and messed up the timing. Thank you so much for this.

[@CowboyTomi]

Very helpful video! Thank you for sharing.

[@barbarabeans9]

What tool do you use to loosen the screws on the gear?

[@poshposh7609]

Asking myself the same question

[@poshposh7609]

Please let me know once you find out

[@jackielimongelli4856]

[@Priscalovee]

Thank you this was so helpful and it worked!

[@karina1172]

Thank you sooo much finally found how to fix my problem!! I just need the right screw driver for that little screw. Looks like a star?

[@francancino2460]

Such a good video! Many thanks for this absolutely useful info

[@amazinggrace4697]

Ty so much!!! You saved my machine!!!!!

[@strght_flxing]

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

[@nitagail77]

Thank your for making this video. It's exactly what I was looking for. 😊

[@tech12mods]

kick ass exactly what i needed thanks!!

[@maryknst251]

I’ve had this issue. Thanks for the video, will try to fix my machine tomorrow morning and let u know how it goes🤨😓

[@ca5ualm3dia]

hi my dog knocked my mother's cs-6000i and the needle hits the foot or metal part ,and usualy breaks the needle , I took it apart but I dont know where to adjust or try to bend it back strait , maybe the entire shell is off , but it mostly looks like its the needle traveling up and down impacting the plastic or the metal !

[@mamiesews123]

The Best video for timing😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@Ash-gb8ey]

Thank you for the great video. I was able to correctly time and get the machine back up and working again.

[@debraduffy9610]

Thank you for the videos. I have an issue with my Brother machine The needle won't pick up the bobbin thread. I replaced the bobbin case and no difference. The rotary hook turns to opposite side of wheel from the needle. Is the timing WAY off?? Thank you

[@BrOneHhb]

this works for embroidery too? thanks

[@elizabeththompson5247]

Hi thank you for this video, but it is my needle that has stopped going up and down , can you help me with this problem

[@mariavontrapp4632]

Is the black part supposed to move? Any time I make it go back, it moves and the needle hits the black part. And is the hook you were talking about in the video supposed to touch the needle?

[@KatherineRice-w6r]

So I think my needle is scraping the metal piece within the bobbin holder. The timing is also off. I wish I could add a photo. Is this something that can be fixied?

[@barbarabeans9]

I have a Brother SQ9285

[@porknbomb]

Exactly what I needed to fix my brother cs6000i. Thank you so much!

[@skochavi6721]

Where should it be so it works if the needle is on the right? It looks like if you align the top of the needle hole with the hook if the needle is on the left, then it will be off if the needle is on the right. How can you position so it is correct for both? Thank you; your videos are helping me troubleshoot my brother 6000csi which only moves the fabric backwards or stays in place!!

[@aubrey2720]

You saved me! Thank you!!

[@kitiyayago4744]

Thanks

[@sadafzafarchaudhry8211]

Thank u sir ur video help me alot .😊😊😊😊😊

[@lillianbenson9170]

suddenly thumping while trying to sew

[@chhanaralte2548]

Thank you so much

[@poshposh7609]

Which screw driver did you use?

[@citysewing]

Tork 10 mm

[@M.11-u4k]

Please tell me the name of a machine that doesn't need timing fixed. 🙏sick and tired of problems and almost no productivity.

[@jozsefkelemen9277]

Thank you very much, you helped me, my problem is solved. ;-)

[@annesummers09]

My machine does straight stitch but not zig zag. Should the needle be in the center position when I adjust it or should it be in the far left position. Not clear with this. Thanks

[@cocasio7190]

Needle should be on the left position.

[@jesbako]

Thank you. This was helpful

[@meetr4u]

Very well fantastic vidography ......

[@fifiazz6445]

Tank you

[@ferrous719]

Well shoot. Our problem is the right side of stitch #4 is off timing. The left seems to be okay.

[@ferrous719]

HAHAH my left timing was a smidge on the late side so the right was WAY LATE. I GOT IT HAHAHAHAAH

[@sherijobe9754]

I didn't understand at what point should the needle be before it comes up. So where should the needle be when it comes down and up

[@lotusflowerbomb8832]

My thing does not have screws in it

[@donielleknight9774]

i wish you were in Georgia

[@naomidoudera359]

I can't understand you
